Review: Needs High School Remedial Grammar and Composition
Rating: 1 out of 5
Date: 05 2, 2013
This book reads like a mediocre Valley Girl high school project.  The publisher also apparently assigned an incompetent editor because the grammar is atrocious.  For example, apparently neither the author nor the editor has ever heard of the word "than", constantly using "then" in every instance when the former was appropriate.  ln addition, the protagonist is supposed to be an accomplished engineer but continually displays an almost childishly imperfect grasp of many basic physical and scientific principles.  If the author were to actually use some of the expounded incorrect practices, such as being grounded to protect against electrocution, he or she would become an instant candidate for a Darwin Award.  As Isaac Azimov said, "Good science fiction must use good science."  This book falls far short.
