rsmarty 's review for:
Noah Can't Even
by Simon James Green
Finished this purely because I am a stubborn mule that got too far in to give up.
This book was pure cringe. I understand it was meant to be funny but it tried waaaaay too hard on many occasions.
Also too much was going on for the author to be able to dedicate enough time to the plot points. Several things could have been taken out to clean up the storyline and make it more streamlined and palatable. At points it felt like the author just put in whatever he pleased just for the purpose of complicating Noah's life, not for any plot reasons.
Now Noah. I understand some teenagers tend to be quite stupid, but Noah is a whole other level. The stuff he says and does is just so unbelievably ridiculous that it was hard to empathise with him because he's so fucking stupid. In fact pretty much all the characters are intolerable, stupid assholes. The only two I didn't dislike were Harry and Sophie but they were hardly in the story so I'm not even sure they can be counted as characters.
Overall, I did not enjoy this story. I have read a lager SJG book which was far better (until the ending) so I'm glad he improved.
