2.5This was incredibly bizarre. Yet oddly enthralling in that same sense. I wish I could've marked it up more for being so imaginative but there were so many things I felt were iffy about this book.
Problems:
•The unnatural dialogue
•The writing wasn’t bad, just not to my style. The MC’s “voice” was just too casual to my liking
•The name Vernon. Okay I know this isn’t a legitimate reason, but HELLO. VERNON DURSLEY. Does the name Vernon not come with negative connotations?
•Vernon and Drake (was Drake’s name ever used? I can’t even remember) fell in love waay too quickly. I don’t have anything against interplanetary love or anything, but seriously, to fall in love in such a small amount of time? Usually I would let this go, because I generally don’t care, but honestly, I think it’s easier to suspend your disbelief when it is anatomically possible for the two people (creatures?) to get it on.
There were a few other things which I won’t go on to name… But anyway.
Apart from that, I found incredibly charming for some reason, and very engrossing. Very engrossing. It makes for a very interesting read. I'm not sure if I would recommend it to you, or just mark as a "take interest" for you to see if it appeals to you.
