I wanted to like this book. I liked the idea of a young woman meeting, not a man who could turn into a dragon, but a dragon, who could become a man.  I wanted to like it.But when, in the first chapter, after some confused paragraphs attempting to describe an anxiety disorder, I read that the protagonist had been in an auto accident that resulted in her fracturing her neck and other bones "but nor her spine", and made a point of having her surgeon point this out, I recognized that there were going to be some serious problems.  Apparently the writer didn't know that the neck was part of the spine.  A cervical spine fracture IS a spine fracture.  [How can you write about the fantastic-- a dragon-- imposing upon reality if you can't write about reality?I figured I'd give her a little longer... but then the protagonist said that if she were to be eaten by the dragon she would at least have an impressive tombstone.  Now, families put up memorials if there are no remains, as when someone dies at sea.  They erect tombstones over remains.  All I could think of is what sort of remains could have been buried if the protagonist had indeed been eaten by a dragon.  When I thought about the mourning family members burying a coffin filled with dragon feces, I realized that this book wasn't readable, and I put it down.
