The Girl Who Survived
by Lisa Jackson
DNF@43%
Some of the worst writing I've seen in a while. I'm hoping this was written by some hammered ghost writer. Clunky, force-fed exposition at every turn. Awful dialogue. POV violations. Odd sentences. Plot was intriguing at first, but could not carry the weight of the terrible dialogue. I cannot stress how bad the dialogue in particular was. Dialogue is supposed to be used effectively and propel the story forward. This dragged the whole story into the trash bin. Zero craft techniques used.
Overall I'm really disappointed. I’ve enjoyed work by Lisa Jackson in the past, but this isn’t it. First DNF of the year.
