The writing in this book is so bad, so amateur, that if it weren’t for a half interesting plot, I’d consider stopping short of the finish. I am halfway through and pulled out of the flow so often that I am constantly aware of the words, the direction, the thesaurus. I came to the conclusion very early on that there is no art in these words.

28 chapters in and not much progress. Reminds me more of a 1st draft than a pro-published work. The writing is reminiscent of a high school project. Every line has some awkward description (“The house was tooth white,” - what does that mean? Bright? Ivory? ...Coffee stained?!) Writing like that pulls you out and away from the story.
