Oh dear… gets worse: started to read a thing called Skyscraper Throne by Tom Pollock. Utterly dreadful. It is what those-in-know call a YA work, i.e. a book for Young Adults or children as they used to be called. Knew this but thought, well, give it a try. WRONG! One set of characters are straight out of Tammy or Misty. Although at least those girls’ picture strip papers had some decent stories.
This is just drowned in cliches. And he uses a lot of YoofSpeak which I do not, and do not want, to understand. Avoid at all costs.
