Review: Words just cannot do justice to how bad it is

This is a bad, bad, awful book.  It reads as if it was written by an excited twelve-year-old.  Every other line with an exclaimation point -- I'm sorry, I didn't even know people did that for real.  It contained so many unnecessary words (things like:  "Under the window, where he looked presently, he saw something that hadn't been there when he last looked a moment ago") and just unfortunate phrasings.  The plot is stupid and the characters are so unrealistic it is almost impossible to believe that the author regularly consumes any type of decent fiction.  Even recreational exposure to mediocre storytelling would make this level of badness impossible.  Finally, I'm a reader who regularly reads challenging books and I'm still unclear on several aspects of the story, even after rereading them a few times.Lines like "Suddenly, he was inside of her!" to describe a date rape -- I'm not even making this up.  The exclaimation point is really used there.  I don't know if the author thinks this is a fresh and effective way to write or if he just doesn't care.This is a bad, bad, bad book.
