DNF @ 20 pages. The point of view is alienating. It's not "fresh" and "unique" as some desperate writers seem to convince themselves, but annoying and altogether alienating. I'm a blogger and have read my fair share of articles all about the "you", and they've the same affect. It's too controlling; it removes the ability for everyone to at least have a chance to relate, because the writer is assuming the reader will think a certain way. Someone a different age, gender, etc. than me would be easier to relate to in first or third person—actually possible, even, easiness aside. I bought this book because I thought the blurb was just being quirky.

It's rather crap.
