2.0

This novel was based on a great idea but was poorly executed. The writing was clunky and unpolished which slowed my reading and my enjoyment. It's set up as a historical fiction set fifty years into our future and about fifty years in the past of the ghost writer which I thought was unique. The use of footnotes greatly added to the sense of the book. I found that the author included too much world building back-story within the book. Overall I would not recommend this book to others unless it when through a major edit to tighten up the writing and smooth the flow of the story. I received a copy of this book through Goodreads- First Reads.
