An Alliterative Mess
Sweet Jesus, this book is absolutely terrible. It's not a bad idea, but the execution - specifically the actual, line-by-line writing - is godawful. He has a penchant for alliteration that is clever the first couple of times...and then becomes tiresome...and then becomes completely distracting...and then makes me throw the book out the window (or would if it wasn't on my Kindle and I'm not inclined to waste however much money I paid for the device). Alliteration can - CAN - work in poetry if the poet knows what s/he's doing. It can work occasionally in fiction. It doesn't work when it's done multiple times on virtually every page. I made it to page 22. It's a waste of 11.99. It's the first book I've read where I actually, no kidding, want my money back - and then a little extra for pain and suffering.
