So. upfront: 1 star for creativity for the idea/premise of the book. 1 star for it having unique situations. Other than that, the writing sounds like perhaps a middle schooler wrote it; there are almost no complex sentences in this story and it is jumpy! Abrupt is also a good word that comes to mind. I couldn't get very deep into it because none of the characters themselves were deep. There is SO MUCH wasted potential in this book with this story. So much. What dialogue there was was stilted and where many authors stimulate your mind so you can all but see the action and characters in front of you, this one does not. It takes work. So, as long as you know that up front and you still want to read it, more power to you. This is not a long read, nor is it one you want to turn to when you're bored as it would probably put you to sleep or frustrate you.
