![]() ![]() I'm not going to go into extensive detail - life's too short and I've already spent more time on this than it deserves. It reads like a first draft, when ideas and rough dialogue are simply being dumped onto the page, not a finished product. I would almost venture to say unedited, as there are so many flaws and downright errors that you would think someone would have caught them if they had bothered to read it critically before publication (I wasn't trying to read critically, and they leapt out at me). The problem is that while there is the potential for a great story here and some of the writing is occasionally good, the book for the most part is badly written and VERY poorly edited. I hadn't realised it was a YA (Young Adult) novel until I started it, but that in itself wouldn't have been a problem - a lot of my favourite novels are pitched at readers young enough to be my children. ![]()
