What's funny is, I just saw a commercial for a TV show where The Rock was playing a grown up Tiny Tim kicking people's asses and it was all for the purpose of a satirical joke. Rick is actually taking the hack premise that The Rock was making fun of and taking it seriously.

The second paragraph is 2 sentences. The first sentence is 3 words. The second is close to 40.
What's funny is that they're both sentence fragments, too. "Poor Jacob" has no verb attached to him and does nothing in this sentence. "Marley" is "among them [the Spirits]", but it's just "Poor Jacob". He should have written:

"Marley among them. As is poor Jacob, who blahblahblahdogshit..."

This is a first draft for sure, so it probably shouldn't be scrutinized to a New Criticism level, but it's dogshit all the same. Pure, contrived dreck.

Honestly, I can't really tell the difference between his first drafts and his finished products. This dreck reads much like the snippets of his books that have been posted here. How do these get past an editor and published? I know his editor is apparently dyslexic but from a layman's perspective it doesn't "read" well, for lack of a better term. The guy who wrote the Bro Joe and Rick Christmas Carol probably spent 15 minutes on it and it's way better than this crap.
