Review: Liked it, despite its obvious and annoying flaws
Rating: 4 out of 5

More like a 3.25.I have read several self-published Kindle novels here on Amazon, and abandoned several of them, too, when the errors in style and punctuation, grammar, and spelling overwhelmed any interest I might have had in their plots.In the end, I guess all that matters is that I liked "The Long Lonely Road" well enough to keep reading, despite its obvious problems of punctuation, grammar, word choice and spelling.  Moreover, perhaps this type of unpolished work is what would be produced by many of us, if we were writing down our experiences in such a situation.In his biographical note here on Amazon the author lays out his educational background, and this explains the problems with punctuation, grammar and spelling noted above.  But, the basic situation in "Long Lonely Road" does (unfortunately) seem plausible, I liked his main characters, and the story held my interest.  What more, really, can you ask for in a novel?Yes, I'd really like better spelling, punctuation, and grammar but, hopefully, they will come as this author gains more experience in writing. But, in the meantime, I'd suggest hiring an editor. Because, I'd bet that his novels would be a lot more appealing to a lot more people if these obvious and annoying problems were fixed.
