3.0

The premise of this was UTTERLY fascinating, and I did find the book to be rife with an insane amount of dread, especially with such a unique idea. That being said - this man writing American characters was nothing short of nightmare. The syntax was downright bizarre, accented speech with folks from Arizona an interesting choice, and any mention of the US military (and subsequent complete factual inaccuracy) was absolutely painful to muddle through. For how much of this took place in America, it would’ve paid to have, yknow, an American proof this. Secondly, the grammar in this was clumsy at best. Read a little strange and jilted. On premise alone? This is a 5 star read. The convention and weird sections bring it down for me, but I’d be willing to read more by this author.
