I've recently been wondering what a book written by an author who has never read a book might read like; I think I have my answer.
Although Shabel is obviously an adult he writes like a grade schooler.
Here is my impression of his style:
Christy sits at her computer to write a review. In her mid-twenties, she has not changed clothes in three days. She picks up her Dr. Pepper for a drink, and drinks from it. "This book is terrible," Christy says to herself and then sets the Dr. Pepper down.
