Jason is without a doubt a great creative mind, and the story is a well-woven one with interesting perspectives being brought out.I am normally a spelling/grammar/punctuation "Nazi" myself but, strangely, I did not have a problem reading around the errors. My mind logically put quotes where they should be and I honestly did not get "tired" or "confused" like some of the other less capable reviewers have noted. Anyone past high-school with a reasonable IQ should be able to do this. I do it every day with the mainstream news and media.For me, the story is strong enough to win out over the editing in the end and I will be buying parts two and three in the series. I feel that if I had just given up after a few pages like some people have done, I would have missed out on some truly great and entertaining stories over the past few years.After all, that IS what we are here for - ENTERTAINMENT, not mechanical details like punctuation and spelling. I say, if the story is good enough, let it color your review at least as much as your obsessive-compulsive tendencies. I routinely read something from a new indie author whose prose is not so polished, but the story is enough to keep me gong, despite minor annoyances.Taking off four stars simply for the lack of quotation marks and not even reading the damn thing to get to the story is asinine and shows one to be pretty one-dimensional and .I would love if Jason would go back into the story and fix the punctuation and get a real editor involved to tighten it up, but I am not going to avoid his work due to this one thing.
