Review: Had huge potential, but technical errors made it hard to enjoy.

I thought this had huge potential. I'd read that this was a spoof, so I didn't go into it very seriously. I just expected a fun little romp. I gave it three stars for originality and the fact that it held my attention. It was fast paced and very active, so I just sped along with it.That being said, there were glaring technical errors that really took away from being able to truly enjoy the story. It was sloppy. These were things that could have been caught had someone taken the time to go over the manuscript one more time before uploading it. Missing words. Extraneous words inserted into the text. There were missing quotation marks all over the place, so that dialogue couldn't be distinguished from the thoughts surrounding it (so that, at times, I didn't know who was speaking). At one point there was a huge chunk of text missing that fast forwarded the story and dropped us far ahead of where we were merely a sentence ago. In its place was a single sentence that I found again later in the book.I have to admit I'm disappointed, and I'm not inclined to read anymore from this author. I feel I wasted my money on this. Huge potential, poor execution.
