Some YA books are good for adults to read too. This isn't one of them.

This was, perhaps, a little harsh. I had a long car journey today, and used the speech synthesis feature of the Kindle to carry on where I'd left off. I think I must have been more put off by the dreadful typography than I'd expected.
The plot is still hopelessly thin, with supposedly intelligent adults failing to add two and two to make four repeatedly, but apart from that it was OK. I'll finish it off after all, and see how it ends.
