Life Blood by Thomas Hoover

Terrible read. The author flips the narrator from informal chat to first person pov about every other page. Flagrant inability to shift from one topic to another...he uses "anyway" instead. Overall, the book was clunky, the characters were clunky. Some free ebooks shouldn't be downloaded. *sighs*
