Review: Unlikely Story, Boring Prose, Numerous Typos
Rating: 1 out of 5

I almost bailed at the end of the ridiculous first chapter where (Spoiler Alert) a prisoner with a life sentence is working as a programer on the prison's payroll system! Really?The prose and pacing is unbalanced in the sense that much of the background, color, or descriptive material detracts from rather than adds to the story. Here is an example: "He never did anything on the computer while he ate, since he despised crumbs in his keyboard."Several typos are noted, for example "...it would be the usual--unning the kids around..." (@location 246).Having reached the ten percent mark, I can take no more.
