Currently half way through One Day On Mars by Travis S Taylor. To be honest I am struggling with it. The story is ok, lot of potential, but I really feel he lacks the ability to switch between scenes with ease, easy to get one confused.
Probably the biggest turn-off is the swearing in the story. I'm not against profanity, and use of it from a charactor engaged in dialogue is fine, but he uses profanity when describing a scene or throwing in a paragraph describing a historical event to enlighten the reader, you know from a narrative point of view. Tell me what happened and I will decide whether I as a reader should like a particular charactor or not. Feels he is trying to dictate to the reader what they should feel and think while reading.
Might try and push my way through it.
