I thought this was a decent draft of a novel, and I have certainly read far worse. I was very disappointed by this though, because it had potential. There's a nice little plot, some interesting characters... but all we get are the outlines. Nothing is fleshed out.
I truly felt that this was a work-in-progress, not the final product. So much felt... not even rushed, just undone. There are huge events that merit a sentence or two, and then there are well crafted paragrahs that focus on small details.

The start of the book is much better. The writing is more polished. By the end, the tone, style, and quality is completely different. It's as if this book was a term paper that the author had to turn in, and you can see when the time crunch hit.

I cannot recommened this book at all, but with some more practice and polish, the author could produce something more worthwhile.
