Review: A fun, quick read if you can ignore all the unnecessary hyphens
Rating: 4 out of 5

The four stars are for an imaginative, well told story. I grew to care for the characters, especially Gwyn and her mother, Bridget, who were especially well drawn. Here are my problems:  the worst was the overuse of hyphens to a really, really annoying degree; poor grammar, especially the repeated use of "laying" when "lying" was correct. It would be all right if the errors were ascribed only to the teen characters, but when supposedly brilliant, erudite men are speaking incorrectly, it's an indication that neither the author nor the editor know the correct usage.  I also became a bit weary of Sam weeping quite so constantly. All in all, though, a fun, worthwhile read.
