Review: BURN: Book 2
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 01 31, 2014
Amended 2/3/2014:  It was brought to my attention by two overzealous readers, staunch supporters of this author, that I erred in my opening critique, that the cover page CLEARLY stated that this was book 2, obviously not a stand-alone book.I humbly beg your forgiveness for my heinous error.It still does not excuse an author from doing due diligence on her work.  Nowhere did I say that the author wasn't promising, or that she shouldn't quit her day job.  But if every time criticism is met with disdain by those readers championing their author, that author may want to rethink who exactly is in her audience.Any good author worth her salt would use the criticism to grow.So, I stand by my review.  There were glaring grammatical errors, including spelling, and many syntactical errors.  All of these errors jarred me from the story.  Every author knows that when a reader is pulled from his/her story, it's the kiss of death.I didn't make it past the middle of chapter two. When I read for pleasure, I am not reading to edit.The writing is immature.Grammatical, spelling and passive sentence errors.Immature, motivated protagonists.I won't be finishing the book.
