Some people may not like the author's writing style, but I did, quite a bit.The writing is full of somewhat, or extensive, irreverent content, snide and referential remarks,and humor, that I found LOL funny at times. (that may just be me)There were many times when I read something he wrote and thought,"I wish I had written that line." And/or I was surprised at what he came up with.Neither of those two things are very easy to do.I think I have to strongly disagree with people that give it fewer stars and 'bad' reviews.It's fairly well-written, with very few editing issues, and I thought was easy and enjoyable to read.I didn't like that it had ended so soon.You don't know what's really happening by the end of the first book in the series. But whatwe did find out makes me want to know more. I expect to learn more in the sequel.I think the story and all of what goes into all that was pretty well done overall.I got the first book for free, but would not have minded paying for it. (even at SRP of $3.99)I will purchase book 2 for that price. (and I hope I will want to buy book 3, too)Due to much of the referential content, like mentions of the TV show "The Walking Dead",and some other "pop culture" items, this book may not survive the test of time.But we can enjoy it here and now. Those who get the references will probably have amuch more enjoyable reading experience. Those who don't might get irritated?Maybe that's (partly) why people have been giving it lesser stars.More's the pity, but that's what you get for not reading enough and not paying attentionto what's been going on in the world. (and don't give me that, "But I was only born in 1970,or 1980, or 1990 crap -- I know quite a bit about the history and culture and pop culture ofthe world AT LEAST 40 years prior to my birth, and to a fair degree before that and throughouthistory -- you have no one to blame but yourself (and to a small degree your parents and schools))
