I find the other reviews of this bk inexplicable.  As a former editor I can compete with anyone in the Language Nazi Olympics.  This book, however, is perfectly readable, as far as spelling, syntax and grammar are concerned.As a story, however, it leaves muc to be desired.  Others claimed to be riveted to the story, but I kept going back to the story again and again, hoping that it would capture my attention. Sorry, but no joy.  I didn't dislike the characters at all; I could barely identify anything about them other than names.Now, it's entirely possible that the last 90% of the book is a masterpiece.  I rarely give up on a book before I've read a least a quarter, but I've only, through dogged effort, been able to read about 5%.Currently, the book is free.  If that situation has changed by the time you are reading this, please trya sample first.  If you find this book as dreary and unpleasant as I do, the sample should tell you that.  If I'm as full of beans as the other reviews would imply, you should be able to figure that out from the sample. and getting the rest of the book is simple enough at that point.And if you decide I'm full of beans, please reply to this review and tell me what I've missed.  I've been known to change my mind, a unlikely as it seems to me now.  Maybe I'm just having a terrible, no-good very-bad day.
