Review: I got this book free, and I spent too much

I spent my time and my effort, and even though I tried twice, I couldn't get beyond the second chapter of this book. If you have ever seen the episode of Family Guy, where Peter writes porn, you will instantly understand when I say that this book is written in a similar style, maybe a half-step higher for not speaking directly to the audience, and a half-step lower than Peter's literary efforts, because at least Peter had interesting things like an exotic Spanish lady, or maybe Portuguese, and space-robots. This book has nothing interesting to recommend it. The author wastes the reader's time with unnecessary detail (I do not care that the heroine listened to NPR in the car on the way to her job interview), and delivers tedious descriptions that Peter Griffin could have written (as when the author describes the Hero's voice as being like Barry White's). I had just read that the Heroine had shuttered, instead of shuddering, as most people do, and when I finished the sentence comparing the hero and Barry White, I shut the book.
