Review: NEEDS AN EDITOR!!

The problem with this book wasn't typos, it was bad grammar and the continuous misuse of words, particularly homonyms. Also, misusing "ravage" when he should have used "ravish" and "complement" instead of "compliment" were not typos; they were misused the same way in multiple instances. Also, I found the constant use of "bleep" (and its various forms) to be very annoying and doing so interrupted the flow of the story far more than the language itself would have. In addition, the book was too long, with way too many trivial details. On the other hand, the dialogue was crisp and often funny, the characterizations were excellent and the plot was original. I liked his use of footnotes; I just think that there were way too many (274!) of them. If you know the negatives and they don't bother you, then I really think that you'd enjoy this story so I recommend it with some reservations.
