Title: Good idea marred by mediocre writing
Review: I really wanted to like this book, but I found myself consistently disappointed by the underdeveloped characters and lackluster descriptions. For such a quirky story, the writing could have been far *more* quirky. Awkward plot transitions and predictable twists didn't help, either.I bought this book for five dollars, and I'm glad I didn't spend more on it. This could have been a very imaginative, original story, but the author didn't seem to know what to do with it. I left this story feeling like I only knew one character: Theo. The others remained frustratingly indistinct, and all the mermaids and Hardy Boy references floating through the text couldn't change that.
