He's too preoccupied with the dramatics to actually convey the feelings of his characters.
We have caricatures not real people on these pages - typical problem in debut novels.
Quite a lot of over-written descriptions - as in an original image given a second layer - very odd.
Disjointed thoughts - odd phrases - non-logical progressions - again he thinks he's being literary - actually just annoying.
