With a title like Rough Draft, you'd think there'd be more about the writing process but it's almost glossed over in favor of the plot, but the rough draft is crucial to the plot. I would have liked to have seen more of the three writers working together to write the book that their lives depend on. It's more of a ghost story that becomes nearly unbelievable.The hermit character didn't really ring true for me, either. For someone who sheltered himself the way he did, he didn't seem to have much of a problem communicating with the other writers. I figured he was a writer who expressed himself better on the page than in person, but he doesn't seem to have a problem with either.What I found distracting was the typos and misuse of words. Like the use of Passerbys, that just made me laugh. The word is supposed to be PASSERSBY. I don't consider that a typo, some people actually think Passerbys is acceptable.The dialogue doesn't ring true in a lot of places, either.The writer has a lot of improving to do, but he is talented.It's an okay read but nothing great. It passes the time. Entertaining enough for me to give it 3 stars. If there's another book you're dying to read, go read it and skip this. I'm glad it was a freebie.
