Title: Short and choppy often sloppy
Review: I read this book. I read it about two weeks ago. Sometimes I would read it at my desk. The lamp on my desk shone on the book. If you enjoyed that style of writing - which I call "laundry list style" - you would get into this book. Short choppy sentences abound! That's not the only problem here, some sentences aren't sentences but a dependent clause. Here is one from page 11, "Once we were leaving a movie theater after seeing a pretentious movie." It is also hard to follow this book at times due to the quick switching of gears/scenes. I feel that no flow ever develops. I could care less about the characters, no drama or suspense is ever built and the writing lacks. Instead of Veronica buy a harmonica. Even if you never learn to play well it will be better than this book.
