I don't normally rate books this low. If I don't like a book, I try to chalk it up to a difference in style or perhaps I set my expectations incorrectly. This story is just bad. And after I read several reviews saying as much, I still went ahead and read it and I wish I hadn't wasted my time. If you're on the fence about reading this book, check out some other reviews before you decide. To each their own, but, wow, this was silly and much too self-serious.
