This is the worst book I've finished in a long time. Only a sunny beach in Hawaii and no other book for days pulled me through. Thin, one-dimensional characters with ridiculously over-simplified emotions and ham-fisted clunky dialogue abound in this adolescent teleportation fantasy. Perhaps an introverted teen (from the eighties) might find the characters intriguing, but any mature reader, even a sci-fi fan, would have a hard time not laughing at most of it.
