The story was very long and drawn out.  Interesting but it just seemed that the same story could have been done in a shorter version.  I found myself skipping over some of the detailed parts.

It was a long story and I feel it would be better

 If l had read it by putting time between each part.couldn't keep not reading as each new part ended.

The story was interesting about the lives of the Light house keepers.
But the story was drawn out with far too much of the child's character and dialogue I found it a little boring. However I did have to see how the story ended, so I guess that is a plus.

Interesting story, but it is very long and detailed.  It reminded me of Pillars of the Earth, but moves a lot more slowly.

Story jumped around a lot, so it was hard to follow, plus it took too long to get to the point - lost interest.  Was a selection for my book club, but I struggled to finish because it was so much work to read.

Interesting story but the author goes into painful levels of detail for things that weren't that important to the story.  Ends up making the book much longer than necessary.

this was a good book, but it was really long.  There were a lot of story lines going on at the same time and hard to keep track.

The storyline was very good but too drawn out.  At times it was hard to follow the multiple story lines and I had to force myself to continue reading.  But in the end, it was worth the effort.

This story was overly long and drawn out.  It could have used a proof reader;  it appears to have relied on spell check allowing numerous errors in word choice, examples: dawn in place of don, waived/waved, your/you're, dye/die, etc.

It just seemed to take way too long to get the story told. Not to mention, the most important part is left until the very end and is leaves me with a lot of questions.

This is a very long story. There were about 2 or 3 places where it could have ended but it kept going. I didn't care for the ending but my interest was kept through most of the book.

Too long winded. There are some really interesting facts and conjecture, but it's ultimately ruined by the long drawn out way the writer expresses himself.

Good story just very very long.  Could use some editing.

I liked the book and characters but it was very long and drawn out. Be prepared to read the same thing over and over.

Too much narrative for me. Was a very long drawn out story, and took forever to get to the grit of the storyline. Once it got there it was a good read.

It was an interesting story, but 2/3 of the way though it got very hard to follow as (without spoiling anything) some names changed.  Also, there was a lot of jumping around in where the characters were located.

Much longer than necessary.  I skimmed through the second half of the book because I found the narrative long and drawn out. The characters were well-drawn but the narrative was too long.
