This was a book written in verse (though with no meter or rhyme scheme that I could discern, so really free verse) which was hugely off-putting for me. I do not enjoy nor have I ever enjoyed free verse.
It makes for a choppy, novella-length tale that is decent, but nothing remarkable and not one on which I would spend my time.
Also, the descriptions of these books really need to disclose that they are in free verse.
