Review: Gripe about book format
Rating: 1 out of 5

My comments are addressed to authors, editors and publishers of electronic novels such as the example this one, CROW.  Look, as a consumer I am given so many choices in my reading material that there are more interesting sounding books to buy than I have time to read.  Considering how much work, you as the author, puts into the writing, it only makes sense that one of your goals is to have people like me want to buy and enjoy your hard effort.  So, why, why, why, do you adapt an unconventional and annoying format for fiction?  Mr. Richards is one of several authors who use section breaks in place of the standard indent between paragraphs.  To experienced reader, who is just about anyone over the age of 8, the section break signifies the end of one scene and the beginning of another.  Wouldyouwant  toread sentences likethis  one?That's what is it like for me to read your unconventional format.  I do not buy your book.  Reading should be as easy as possible to be the single pleasure which takes me, the reader, to a different place other than being seated next to the sneezing, wheezing old guy with a cold on the 5 o'clock bus.  Long story short, I did not complete enough of CROW to honestly tell you anything about the story.  Bless Amazon for free samples.
