Looking for someone to help me out - be a reader

Hi everyone,
I've never been shy here about my aspirations to be a writer. I've come CLOSE to getting an agent, but haven't gotten there just yet. One agent gave me some suggestions for edits, which I've made.
Before I resubmit to him, though, I'm looking for someone who hasn't read my book yet to give me an unbiased opinion. The book is a YA fantasy. I'm looking for someone who enjoys the genre to read through and tell me if they see any big problems, specifically with pace and plotting. Minor grammar errors etc. aren't as much my concern as big picture stuff right now.

This will take some time, as it is a full length book. Hopefully you'll enjoy it, at any rate, and in the best case scenario you can say you read the best seller before it was published crossfingers Ideally, I would love it if someone could do this within about a two week time frame.

If you're interested and can help me out, please send me a private message.

Thanks!

How many pages is it? Smile

It's 350 pages. A little long - but, if I do say so myself, a quick read.

I would love to oblige and read fairly fast, but I usually read before going to sleep and printing 350 pages to take to bed would be a problem.

Thanks, Tony - and I understand. Part the problem I've had has been the need to read on the computer because it is too long to print really. I don't have a printed copy of it!
