Book: The Patchwork Planet by Anne Tyler
Age-range: 16 and up
Recommended: No
I have no idea why I even bothered to finish this book. I just kept waiting for the plot. There was none that I could discern. The character ended being the exact same person he had been at the beginning.
Although, it did reinforce a lot of writing information I've received. Always have a likable protagonist; have a "problem" the story has to solve; take your character on a journey so they are transformed into a different person by the end of the book. This book did none of these things.
Also, the title was completely misleading and had absolutely nothing to do with the story!
