Clueless Is Very Aptly Named For This 5th-Grade Sunday School Essay
People In the Walls, as a conceptual story, has great potential. But as written by the author, it reads like a story written by a fifth grader, and in saying that, I apologize to all the fifth graders out there. In the very lengthy description and background of the author, he states (proudly, I presume) that his hero is a writer that never reads any reviews, but just keeps writing. I fully believe that because he mentions it in relation to his hero, Mr. Crosbarn must follow the same pattern. That's a shame, because he will then never know how bad his writing truly is, or what he could do to improve it.
The main character of this story is a young man named Quinn, who like many people, finds himself in a position where the career for which he has trained (and taken out student loans, of course) is becoming obsolete due to the ever-advancing improvement of technology. Quinn has challenges along the way, largely involving sexual and drug use temptations. The story is about how he deals with these, and about who, in this story, is actually behind these challenges. As a story concept, this is an excellent one, full of possible tension and challenges to be overcome. In practice, though, this book is worse than a train wreck.
The problems with the story are many; I will try to describe them as succinctly as I can, else this review would be longer than the book. The author does not seem to understand how higher education is structured, since he talks about Quinn earning an Associates' degree, but then going into graduate school. An AAS is a two-year degree; one must have a Bachelor's Degree before going into graduate school, which bestows the higher degrees of Master's and Doctorate. He also talks about living in the dorms, but only having food tickets for a part of the trimester. It is possible some schools are different, but I have always seen a dorm contract including sufficient meals for the entire trimester, unless the student is wasteful.
Mr. Crosbarn is also quite misinformed about the march of technology at the time. Quinn went in to school during 1984, and the author says "... in two years Quinn would graduate and right about that same time IBM will come out with the first personal computers...ie the Macintosh." First, the IBM PC came out in 1981, not 1986. Second, the Macintosh is an Apple Corporation product that was released in early 1984.
