Review: Terrible Title:  Fine Novel
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 18, 2012
Some day I'm going to read a recently published book without finding any errors in grammar or spelling, but today is not that day.  "Toby" has errors that anyone with a solid 4th grade education (or the equivalent) should have eliminated.  Some examples:  who's for whose, jam for jamb, it's for its, proscribed for prescribed, one's for ones.  Though, I'll admit, pretty clean for a 350 page book.Speaking of the length of the book, in my opinion some editing could have cleaned and tightened it.  And there were a couple of impressive holes in the plot, which I won't mention because of the prohibition on spoilers.Now, with that out of the way, let me say that I really enjoyed "Toby"; that's why I gave it 4 stars.  The plot was good, the characters excellent and engaging, the ending satisfying (and a first class example of how an author can tie up all the loose ends and resolve the plot's questions while still leaving the door open for further adventures of Toby and Company).If this author does write a sequel, I would be delighted to read it.
