Review: Running spell check does not constitute proofreading and editing

This could have been a good novel. Unfortunately, the author must have slept through freshman English composition. It is so replete with grammatical errors and other errors that. A cabinet official changes from female to male in a single sentence. The Dow Jones becomes the Down Jones among other blatant errors too numerous to list.With competent proof reading and good editing it would have been quite a good novel. I am amazed that this is not the author's first attempt at professional writing. Let's hope he does better professionally with his planned subsequent novels on this topic.Did you notice that the third sentence of this review was incomplete? I was just wrote that as an example of what one will encounter all through the book.I still gave it three stars because I feel with some conscientious proofreading and good editing this could be a taut, interesting novel. It has great potential. My advice to Mr. Yoshida: have this book proofread and edited and reissue an updated version. At $2.99, in it's present form it is overpriced.
