I simply don't understand how a writer, no matter how accomplished, can get away with using run-on sentences, huge point-of-view (POV) changes, poor selections of words, and NOT using proper punctuation. There wasn't a single quotation mark throughout the entire story.It was so difficult to read this book because of the above named literary problems that I had to drink coffee to stay awake while I read. I had to repeat many sentences to determine if a character was talking or if I was reading narrative gab. Come to think of it, after all that, the story wasn't even that interesting. Even if Corm had edited his work properly, it still would have resulted in a yawn-fest.I didn't hate it, but I certainly didn't like it. Two stars! **
