The page, one in number, contained, so many commas, the reader found it utterly, and, to say more, forever, to be, frankly, unreadable.
(Third sentence. 14 commas. Astounding.)

The writing-style of the author was appalling.

Only on p 81, and I’m not really a SF buff, but the writing is making it difficult to read. I agree with the above. See p34. Paragraph (1) starting with Irina. The last sentence is about 85% of the paragraph and contains 12 commas and runs on and on. Amazing, but not in a good way.

Apparently the audiobook version makes it less noticeable. But reading the paperback version, I'm also incredibly annoyed and distracted by the number of commas. It feels like my brain is stuttering reading this book.
