I think there's a good story here, but the formatting and grammar are so bad, I couldn't read it.I have downloaded the book to my Kindle, my Kindle Fire, and my Kindle for iPad, and they are all equally badly formatted.  So is the Amazon free sample.  In the first paragraph she writes of "Napoleons escape from Elba" with no apostrophe.  I should have quit then.The author has chosen to present the text in a heavy italics font and she does not indent her paragraphs.  She can write good dialogue, but it all runs together with no paragraph breaks to indicate a change in speakers.  The text is also marred by commas where they don't belong, missing commas, run-on sentences, and just plain bad grammar.  (Describing some horses:  "Their tense as you can imagine...")Didn't anyone take a look at this book before it was uploaded to Amazon?  This is a good story.  It deserves better.
