Review: So Close...
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 4, 2012
The premise behind the book is great, and for the most part, the writing is very good. I wish I could have given the book 5 stars, but there was just too many issues were just irritating enough to lose a star.1) An editor is needed. Throughout the book, there are punctuation errors (mostly left out commas) that make reading a little tricky. Nothing horrible, but enough that I had to stop and reread a line because the flow was lost.2) Mason's cover coming back to town was just wrong. A Texas DA is an attorney, not someone with a PhD in criminology. (Maybe the degree is listed as criminal justice. Either way, he doesn't qualify.) In addition, the DA in Austin would not have a firm; he would work for the city. The fact that the cover is so unrealistic made it difficult to take seriously.
