That's a very generous way of putting it. I picked it up off the bargain shelf not realizing the age of the author. The plot is totally derivative and every character speaks in the same, implausibly stilted voice.
Incidentally, I once very much enjoyed a book written by a twelve-year-old.
Axe Cop comes to mind, even though it was a partnership with one (very in the beginning, now noticeably less so) junior partner.
How old were you when you read it? I loved the MacDonald Hall books when I was little, but I don't know how well they'd stand up to a more critical eye.
Probably somewhere around 12 myself. Looking back at the series, the characters are indeed paper thin, but the jokes are still funny.
