I am so glad I read this thread, and so was on notice of the craptasticness of the writing!
"Hmmm ... I want to introduce my characters, but my English teacher is always banging on about 'show, don't tell' so I need to *show* what they're like ... I know! I'll put an interview on the first couple of pages, and whack in something improbable but not impossible, and she can just ask the questions I want answered, even if the literary device used is completely base, and it doesn't really make sense ... ta daaa!"
But I'm pretty sure I'll read all three anyway ... hopefully the good outweighs the ****house, over the course of them ...
