I feel that if you can't make your point in that amount of space, you are really wasting my time. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule--A Hundred Years of Solitude and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay come to mind--but not many. I say give up on the book. Not because of my silly rule, but because you don't really seem to like it all that much, and that probably is going to change over the next 300 pages.
