 ★★ Reader left outside the storyThe story was told in a manner of a narrator, or as if I were sitting with you and relaying facts of an event.
 ★★ IssuesWhen you immediately encounter spelling errors in the Introduction, there isn't much hope that the author did a thorough job editing the book: reducing one "eating time", instead of reducing one's "eating time", and why did "eating time" need to be in quotes?
 ★★ Started losing me in Chapter OneWhy? Because of the infantile dialogue and writing style plus a forced plot.
 ★★ Too Many Negative Points......to push this to a 3 star book. Let's start with the characters.
 ★★ Ouch!This is the sappy, love-at-first sight romance novel on steroids. Everything over-the-top.
 ★★ Don't know what this isFirst, get the cover re-done, it's as ridiculous as the story.
 ★★ Boring PontificationA teen loses his mom, becomes disillusioned with his father and finds solace (of a sort) in a Ancient-Egyptian lore-spouting older waitress.
 ★★ Couldn't Get The PointFrom the beginning, I tried to get the point of the book, but it was very difficult.
 ★★ I Couldn't Quite Get Into ItFirst of all, the writing was either well done, or it wasn't, which made me have to re-read some parts for it to make sense. For example:
"A week later, I was caught behind a school bus flipping briskly through my notepad." Really? A school bus is flipping through your notepad?
Too Little Substance and......too many mistakes. Geez, but this really had the potential to be a cute short fantasy read, but it has far too many issues as it stands now.
First of all......please get a professional cover made. I nearly by-passed this because the cover is really bad.
I Wasn't Certain......how to put everything down succinctly about this book because there are just way too many issues that need addressing before this can be a book worth reading. Where to start?
Too Many Perfect Protagonists. No Antagonists.First, that had to be the shortest prologue in history (that I've ever read) and seemed absolutely pointless.
