If you left out the sniffing, braid-tugging and skirt-smoothing, and the page-long descriptions of what someone is wearing in what is supposed to be a suspenseful scene, then you could read it in a couple of days.
You're not kidding. I always wondered what he meant by "sniffed" and tried it out as a teenager; sounds stupid. Then translated it to a sort of "hmph!", which doesn't sound any better, but at least didn't sound like the women had a weird nervous tic.
