    Even as a 13-year-old, I could see gaping holes in the plot and inconsistencies. The aliens were hardly alien.

    Even more so, I could see that the writing was clumsy and the dialogue was stilted. I could see how the writer was developing the story, and so I was not pulled into it at all. I was actually thinking to myself that I could write something like this. And I was 13!

    I haven’t seen the movie, but from the sounds of it many of the problems with the book are also on screen.
