My first thought about this book was that it must have been written by an Appalachian grade school dropout who speaks some sort of backwoods Ebonics.  My second thought was that there's no way this thing was edited.  I felt like an OCD afflicted English teacher.  The spelling alone had me ready for a straight jacket.  Any word that normally ends in "ed" ends with a "t" in this book.  Spoilt.  Learnt.  The grammar wasn't any better. Normally things like this don't bother me but there was just so much of both in this book that I just REALLY wanted to stop reading it.  However, since I'd started it I felt like I had to finish it.  And just when I thought I couldn't take it any more, things got interesting.  Suddenly I wanted to see how it ended and all those other issues with this book kind of fell into the background - or at least to the side.  I'm invested enough that I will read the sequel.  But I will definitely be hoping for be writing skills.
