Query: Good storyline bad writing

The authors style of writing in the present tense is really off putting, I've never read a book from an author who wrote that way. His use of an accent for his bayou characters comes in and out. A number of times words are misused, not misspelled, for example when the group is meeting in the restaurant to plan the escape from the hospital they order a "picture" of beer. I like the plot but the technical flaws, as I see them, are hard to get past.
