This book was awful. I had to read this book for a year nine novel study, and it was a poorly done piece of text. The book seems like a basic draft and outline of a novel before the full novel is to be written. The storyline is boring with no intrigue or elements of excitement. The characters have no development what so ever and they are void of emotion and robotic. Reading this book wasn't just difficult due to the lack of plot line and character development, but was also a hard read due to the dryness of the writing. The dialogue is unrealistic and plain. The author over uses rhetorical questions and uses them to introduce topics that could be dealt with further. Instead, it is ignored. As well as this, there is a whole sentence that goes on for half a page that consists of no punctuation or commas what so ever. It reads like this: " and then and then and then and then " which goes on for half a page. I do not recommend this book to anyone.
