Terrible. First, the sentence structure is overly simplistic. It reads like one of those "I can read" books for children.
Second, as someone already mentioned, this book did not have a good editor. Superfluous and unnecessary information abounds. No one needs to know the workings of a jet in a novel that has nothing to do with flying aircraft. And that's just one example.
Third, the way in which the characters speak with one another is not realistic. I don't say the name of the person to whom I am speaking EVERY time I open my mouth to speak with them.
Fourth, the girl is supposed to be 17/18, but acts 12. Moreover, she has no clue on what it means to be respectful of other cultures, people, customs, places, traditions, etc. Honestly, the book made me cringe in certain spots due to how she acted. I also hate how the author just co-opted another culture in order for the white, American character to have an adventure.
Finally, the story - overall - was fairly boring. You know a book is bad when you could really care less if the main character dies, or if the other one stays a tiger forever. I actually read halfway through, then began skimming to the end. I won't be reading more of this series.
