Review: Very distracted from the story by the formatting.

I'm having trouble reading this book due to several problems:1. The formatting is strange.  I find that distracting from the story and it makes it hard to enjoy the book. Here is a sample of what I mean.Paul warmly greeted me at the lift entrance with a shake of my hand. “Good to see you again Marcus.” “I’m happy to see you as well and glad you are still alive and in good health.” “What’s this rubbish, talking to me like that? I still feel like a young man.” he said laughing.Veii, Vito (2014-02-17). I, Human (Kindle Locations 70-72). Vito Veii.

But right now I am more worried about our world, which is on the verge of a planetary war frankly it scares the hell out of me. You know Paul ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a space explorer, but I didn’t imagine my ship and others in the expedition fleet would be beefed up in weaponry in anticipation of war.” The Supreme council is making contingency plans in the event worse comes to worst. In spite of all this Marcus I just want to congratulate you. I am so proud and pleased that you have been given command of your own ship.” Which of the three ships, are you captain of; the Graziella, the Veda, or the Valeria?” “Veda.” I said. “Ah the Veda, I have seen pictures, very impressive looking robust in build, sleek in design and golden in colour.” “You should see the command deck very spacious and the views of space are impressive.”Veii, Vito (2014-02-17).

It is very annoying to have to reread each paragraph to try to determine when the speaker changed.2. Simple scientific mistakes.In describing the setting of the story the speaker describes the location of his planet as:My planet Caeruleus resides in a binary star system called Elysium. Caeruleus is located inside a spiral galaxy on the carina arm of the Milky Way 25,000 light years from its galactic centre.Veii, Vito (2014-02-17). I, Human (Kindle Locations 43-44). Vito Veii. Kindle Edition.As far as I can determine (checked Wikipedia), a galaxy doesn't contain more than one galaxcy.3. The writing seems stiff.4. Descriptions are very lacking in details; there is no sense of "being there".I can't speak to the entertainment value of the story because I'm not going to finish the book. I read the end and it gave no clues as to whether there was a good ending or not, it was just as stiff and non-descriptive as the beginning.
