Review: Reasonably interesting story brought down by typos
Rating: 3 out of 5

I just finished reading this Kindle book; it was a fairly enjoyable read, but the high number of errors in the writing really brought down my opinion of it. Either the author was in too big a hurry to get it out to properly proof it, or his knowledge of language usage is really lacking.Numerous instances of "you're" when it should have been "your", "there" instead of "their", "where" instead of "were", "here" instead of "hear", plus several more. Coming across these klinkers in the story are like skating along and suddenly hitting a rock.Spell check wouldn't have caught any of these things; they were spelled correctly, just used incorrectly. This author has the potential to turn out some good reading, he just needs to use a bit more care or ask help in proofing.
