The Worlds of Earth

DNF - PG 14

This book makes no sense. I know, I know, I didn't read enough, but... stylistically, the word choices don't work for me. They don't make much sense to me when you get paragraphs like this.

‘Miss Pine triumphantly marched Jen into the main office ....... As she (the secretary) typed another monotonous daily report.'

Also, you have a teacher that's being encouraging to Jen and then five pages later, she's saying she can't get through to her. And then there's the sheriff who was reluctant to ‘investigate' two adults that have been ‘missing' for about two hours. Then he shows up a posse (basically, I think it said ‘townspeople') and their hound dogs...

I don't even know what is this.

Let's also not forget that the longest chapter is ten pages - and at least two chapters are one single page. Not even a full page.

(To be fair, this isn't a book I would have ever chosen for myself, but it was a gift and I had it for about ten months before giving it a shot. Honestly, I probably didn't have a chance of liking it, but...well, I gave it a shot and the writing style was a turn-off.)
