Query: two stars for the subject

I don't quite understand why this book has been getting such good reviews...I didn't think it was that good. Jenkins' writing is very simple, quite choppy - jumping from one subject to the next with no apparent connection, and inserting useless information in the middle of a narrative - and filled with cliches. He doesn't seem to have a whole lot of skill with the language, and maybe it's just the English major in me coming out, but I expect better from my authors. Overall, I thought Looking for Alaska read a bit too much like a rough draft.That said, the subject is amazing (and the reason I bought the book) and so it gets two stars anyway.
