I almost didn't read this book after reading some of the negative reviews that said the language was too simple and Ral talked like a caveman.  So believe me I was shocked when he spoke in full and complete sentences.  I did not see anywhere that he talked stilted, neanderthal or shakesperean.  But even if he had talked simplistic, anyone who speaks more than one language knows that some languages use less words than english to convey the same thing so it would be likely a translater would shorten things.  Sorry for going on a rant but it irritates me when people exaggerate or say things that aren't actually factual to tear down a book they didn't like.  I guess not everyone is going to be objective when they write a review and realize there's a difference between a poorly written book and it just not being their personal preference.I didn't find any problems but one with the editing so if there were any I must have been too engrossed and read past them.  There was one paragraph that didn't make sense that was talking about Ral's back yard and was mixed into another topic.  But that is my one complaint that for a book that is priced higher like this one there shouldn't be any mistakes like that.That said I really did enjoy this book and the concept and I enjoyed the characters.  I will be reading more in this set and by this author :)
