Review
The concept of this book was an interesting one, which is why I was originally drawn to it.
There are a lot of obvious grammatical mistakes such as commas in the wrong place, the misuse of words - such as 'your', and other issues along those lines. Then there's some content issues - the dialog, the narrator giving detailed explanation of conversations that happened between two people when he was a toddler - as if he were there participating in it, mixing up character names, the list goes on.
Despite that, I did enjoy this story - but it needs work. There's some pretty heavy stuff going on in this book. The author is able to portray the emotions pretty well. Normally when a book has this many editing issues I cannot finish it, but this story was able to keep me captivated.
I give this 2.5 platypires. I would read it again and would be willing to increase my rating if the author made the necessary changes.
