If I could give this short story NO STARS. I would.
First off, I knew it was going to be a rough ride from the title, who names their book so literally? After looking into her other books on Barnes & Noble, I noticed there are two other copies with the exact same synopsis--but with different titles and covers.
This author is a hobbyist, and cares more about having something published; 'quality over quantity' is not something she values. But I felt an incredible urge to read the drivel, so I gleefully paid my .99 cents.
But oh Lordy, wowzers. Where do I begin? Nowhere I suppose, because that's where this story takes place. The informational bits are scraggly and misplaced, the overall tone is non-existent and the misuse of particular phrases is rampant. The story is disjointed and the conversations are equally abused. The characterization is laughable at best and the moments of action are so befuddled with adjectives that the syntax is blown to Hell.
Don't waste your time. Unless you take a particularly macabre enjoyment in bad literary tales, in which case you might feel right at home.
By God don't waste your .99 cents.
Not even on this incredibly short story...with LARGE PRINT it swings into the tune of 26 PAGES.
Pick someone else! Anyone else!
Don't look directly into the light! It's a trap!
