Good concept, atrocious execution

The plot summary sounded interesting, but the book itself was more than disappointing. It seems to be barely edited, weird sentence structures constantly break the flow and neither author nor editor have looked up the definitions of some of the words they used. As example: "apprising" on page 28 when they clearly meant "appraising" (or maybe that was a typo) and "dispositive" on page 39 as a fancy way of saying "negative", but that's...not what that word means. I'm also not a big fan of stressing a word by putting it in all caps, especially when cursive was an option. The book managed to pick up speed in the last half and turned entertaining despite it's flaws, which was a nice surprise. Some of the characters were obnoxious and over-stylized, though, especially the edgy, try-hard 10 year old.
