I dare say[1], it’s not a very well-written book. I would describe it as elementary, and not refined or sophisticated. That made is easy (and fast) to read but not very enjoyable for the writing itself.
Good
- The story is good, and inventive[2]
- The story seemed solid, and the plot well thought out[3]
- Writing is accessible, not obscure[4]
Not so good
- Nothing worth quoting – a phrase or sentence that stands out, stands on its own.
- I’m all for fucking and getting fucked, etc., but the descriptions of sex in this book were more vulgar than explicit[5]. Perhaps they were meant to be more realistic than artistic, but I think a better balance could – and should – have been found between the two.
- I personally didn’t care for the “Amazing Amy” part of the storyline. It seemed too…convenient, as a feature of the plot, to build part of the story around; it just seemed more of a crutch for the story than a natural part of it.
