1.0

I don't have a single clue what this book was even about. There were entire pages of text that were entirely undeciferable because of the way the author chose to write the characters' accents. Even the stuff I could understand was confusing, wordy, or both. Nothing felt like it actually mattered due to the complete lack of emotional depth of all characters (as far as I could tell).
