Review: Couldn't finish it
Rating: 2 out of 5

In spite of the (few) good reviews this has garnered, I found myself unable to finish the book--I abandoned it about 40% of the way in. I've been told that I'm "too picky" and maybe a less-picky reader would enjoy this--that's why I gave it two stars, instead of one.As much of the story as I read seems fine. It's the writing that put me off. Descriptions of people and events are choppy. Sentence construction and vocabulary are primitive, even childish.For example:"Will sipped at the cider happily. He didn't feel so stiff after he had finished. He waited a few moments, then Will crawled out of the bed and sat at the table. The drink had woken in him an appetite, and Will suddenly felt famished."Simply unreadable.
