Title: Wanted to like it...but...
Review: Let me start by taking Christ's name is vein. Christ.Now to move on. The main problem with this book is the writing. It's just not very good. The use of language is so distracting infact that it made it impossible to enjoy the story. My main gripe is the fact that the author keeps shifting the focus from the characters to the reader. Rather than show you how the character feels about a situation Mr. Curran tells the reader how the reader would feel in that situation by constantly using "you". It's distracting,presumptous and completely pulled me out of the story everytime it happened, which is often.I appreciate the effort that went into the novel and the general ideas were interesting, but if you are a fan of craftsmanship in writing, I can't in good faith suggest you read this book. I also can't help but think a good editor could have solved many of the problems of this book. A shame really.
