Review: Good idea, fun, cool scenes, but needs heavy editing.

I picked up this short novel when it was free (or .99, I can't remember). I was drawn to the cover and the title while browsing amazon. It was a fun read, action-type horror, which I enjoyed. Loved the way the monster died at the end; thought that was fitting. Having said that, there were things that distracted me from the story. One, there are lots of misspelled words. Led was spelled lead, when he meant led. Pedal was spelled peddal, etc. throughout. Also, there was a lot of the same sentence structure that distracted me as well. Lastly, some of the events in the story were a tad unbelievable, such as the monster being big and powerful, but a kid has the strength to hold its stinger back. Aside from these problems, I enjoyed it. There are some cool things in here. However, it does need to be looked at by an editor. I think this story could be made from fair to great, given proper rewrites.
