A review by dabbledev
Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld

2.0

The writing style reeked of Scott Westerfield which made it hard to believe that the"author" of the story in this book actually wrote it. The "real life" story that was being told at the same time was so unbelievable and written in so much Westerfields style that I couldn't connect with any of the characters because they felt so fake. At one point in the story the "author" realizes her characters are paper cut-outs, but I felt that way about all of the.
If he was trying to write the story like it was a debut novel then he succeeded. There were so many plot holes in the paranormal aspects and morality aspects of the story that it was very hard to follow. The story speaks true that the first chapter is the favorite. It was the only part I really enjoyed.
