I almost never quit a book before I've finished reading it. I figure that I at least owe it to a writer to acknowledge their time and effort by giving their books a chance.Unfortunately, the writer of Alice in Deadland left me with no choice but to leave  the first book in this trilogy largely unread.I'm not a grammar snob, but I do expect a writer to have enough of a command of the English language to at least present their material as flawlessly as possible or to have an editor tweak the manuscript for readability. This book (and I'm referring to the first) starts rambling from the very first page and doesn't get any better.Maybe if the author paid at least as much attention to the mechanics of the language as he did the multiple yet strangely similar scenes of violence, the unbelievable characters and the cheesy plot turns, this book may have been readable.
