Query: Burkett's writing style leaves a lot to be desired

I am not sure if I read the same book as everyone else here, but I found Burkett's writing syle to be very difficult to enjoy. The premise of the book is interesting and could have made for a powerful story if it did not seem like this book was written with Thesaurus in hand. Additionally, I think Burkett was trying to find the most bizarre sentence construction possible with every line he wrote. Granted, the chapters written from the greer's point-of-view should contain an alien element to their thinking, but not to the point of taking away from reader's enjoyment. I read sci-fi almost exclusively to the tune of 3-4 books per month. This one sat on my nightstand for well over a month because I just couldn't deal with more than a chapter at a time.
