I sympathize with that.
In my view GSAW could do with a good editor's work over. Apart from minor distractions such as Henry flip flopping backwards and forwards outside of dialogue, where one would expect consistency, to being Hank, the general lack of careful structuring of the prose is not what I would have expected.
I have relegated it to just finishing the last of it off between other things, and if it weren't for historical interest I would probably have given it a miss.
