A Very Long Book Easy Prey is far and away the longest Prey novel. The typical installment is around 90,000 words or so, but this one comes in at a whopping 105,000. And amazingly, it might have ended up even longer . A lot of stuff was cut at the last instant, and a half dozen inserts that could have gone in didn't. It's probably a mixed answer there.
Some people think the book's great.
Others think that it's awful, because it's missing a lot of traditional Sandford stuff. And these inserts may well satisfy some of those people. On the other hand, other people might find them long and tedious and unnecessary. Different people will have different opinions. Far be it for me to say that any particular viewpoint is right.
