If this work was Half as long, it might make a statement, and capture the readers interest. I recommend a re-write to shorten the length.....there is well written material hidden in the fluff.

that's not necessiarly true-- look at Tennyon's "In Memoriam" it is a huge epic piece and it picks apart his love and grief. And even though time passes the sentiments are so circular that in a way he makes no progression
