Tyler Johnson Was Here by Jay Coles
1.0
DNF'd this book within the first chapter, I couldn't get past the terrible writing. This book could be something that is easy to enjoy for a middle-school age or early high school aged person. I understand what the purpose of the book is. But I detest the use of pop-culture and popular items in books. I would rather read a book written by Donald Trump than read this.
The writing was severely lacking and if I bothered to go back and count the amount of commas used in the first page I'm sure it would be well into the 50's. The cover for the book is the main reason I picked it up, its gorgeous, and the synopsis was intriguing. I think the editing team and publisher really let this author down by not screening the work more thoroughly. I really don't know how the majority of the paragraphs can consist of two run-on sentences
I'm disappointed that this book wasn't any good. It may have more redeemable qualities but I won't be bothering to find out. Maybe the author can learn from this and pick a different publisher for their next book. (P.S. I'll never understand how this book has such a high rating - paid promotions?)
