I started reading this book and got through about a quarter of it before I had to give up. After reading so much good writing lately, this one hit me like a cow patty to the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was so much wrong here – unnatural dialogue, unbelievable story, tropes and cliches, and a liberal sprinkling of contemporary cultural references to try to get your attention. Is it possible that this was a book written by an AI program? If this is the case AI still has a long way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After reading enough to find that it wasn\u2019t going to improve I had to give up on the premise that life is too short to waste time reading crap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So definitely can\u2019t recommend this one – I hope that someone else gets some pleasure out of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
