Alright. I am going to start off by saying that I did not finish reading this. I couldn't and I will tell you why. 
 This book is in serious need for an editor. In one paragraph alone I counted the use of 'intelligible' (including the varations intelligibly and unintelligible) six times and there's one more two paragraphs away. Seven! And I'm fairly certain all of them were incorrectly used. (I would have allowed the first one but the following five in the SAME PARAGRAPH was too much). 
 The characters themselves were just odd,with both if them speaking of things I highly doubt would come up in normal conversation 
 The final straw was the "f" word thrown in randomly. That gave me a pretty good clue that there was probably going to be more later on. 
 So, please pardon my rant. I respect that other readers really enjoyed this. I did not.
