It's pretty good. I like the story, but the writing style feels very juvenile. It is first person, present tense, and it just feels too young for me. I guess it's because I've spent the last year reading the books from A Song of Ice and Fire. So I'm not used to the teenage viewpoint...
It's weird because I like the books. I like the story. It feels like something I would write, and that's the problem. I'm not a writer. It shouldn't feel like something I would write.
now reading The Mysterious Strainger [amazon.com] by Mark Twain. i had gotten an anti-religious vibe from Twain in other works, but this one is full-on anti-deity.

I started the second book, but I just couldn't take it anymore. The author is incredibly repetitive and the writing overall is just poor. I understand the basis of the book and how it came about, but still. It got super boring.
Now I am reading the Harry Potter eBooks in the British versions. Very subtle differences, but some of them make me giggle. Like calling the trunk of a car a boot. Who knew?
