Review: Fire the proof reader

The story is fine.  It moves along, there are interesting characters, and the book is a stand alone in a series.  There are some problems with the heroine's plausibility, but not bad enough to worry much about.  It definitely reads like a young adult book.Unfortunately, the proof reading is atrocious.  Problems include using the wrong word entirely, improper use of pronouns, added words, incorrect verb tense, no periods at end of sentences, no capitalization at the beginning of sentences, repetition of certain words or phrases ("use to" was the worst), and who knows what else.  These problems happen on every single page, sometimes multiple times on a page.  Not only was I repeatedly torn away from the story, I got to the point that I dreaded the next mistake.  I wanted to finish the novel and did, but my teeth were clenched the whole time.This is absolutely the worst example of proof reading that I have ever seen.
