Cardinal Christmas

DNF - PG 13

Why?

The sentence structure, word choice and writing style.

Quite shorter than Douglas, but tall as compared to Lacey.

That is not only an entire sentence, but a whole paragraph.

Or, how about:

The small structure was a phone booth and a half, and the number of extension cords leading into it made Douglas wonder if a power surge or a fire was more likely.

... I'm still not sure if the descriptor ‘a phone booth and a half' was just supposed to mean it had a lot of phones in it, or if it was also supposed to describe size.

Anyway, life's too short fr me to try to puzzle out this style of writing.

(And now that I find out this is the same author as Staggered Cove Station it makes so much sense why the writing doesn't work for me at all.)
