Review: Some good ideas coupled with terrible presentation.

Look, I really had high hopes for this little book but the author's lack of writing skills put me off like a well mixed organic repellent.  The horrible sentence structure made many of the suggestions difficult to decode.  She uses plurals incorrectly throughout the book and that, coupled with incorrect paragraph placement, misspellings and omissions made for a less than stellar read.  At times it seemed difficult to find a single page which didn't have at least one error.  God, it was frustrating!!!There is some good information to be had here IF you are willing to wade through the horrible English, but be prepared for frustration as well.  The section on repellent sprays is a good example.  Confusingly written, this section gives no clear cut instruction as to how to make repellents.  What you get are a few suggestions on what you might consider using in the mix, but no actual recipe for the mixture itself.  That's not helpful.In one chapter, she suggests you brew weak coffee, let it cool and then mix the grounds (not "grinds"), the weak coffee and extra water in another pot to make slug repellent.  I suggest you can make less mess, and create the same repellent, by simply mixing all the ingredients into one pot, cook up "cowboy coffee", and then use that mixture as your repellent.  Simple, effective and only one pot to clean.I could go on and on but I think you get the point.  This book could stand a complete rewrite or at least proofing and editing by a competent professional.  If, however, you are willing to put up with the horrible writing...there are some tidbits of information to be found here.  I give it two stars based on that reason alone.
