I'm a quarter of the way through No Turning Back, and it's a real chore to read. It's always difficult for me to lose myself in a book with a lot of spelling and grammar errors, but this book also offers little in the way of character development. As for Charley's relationships, I can't figure those out at all. For instance, although the author tells us that Charley and Cash have a long history and close relationship, there is no evidence of that in the way they interact.

I plan to finish the book, but so far I haven't gotten through a single page without cringing.
