Review: The Trainer
Rating: 2 out of 5

I find it ironic that one of the main characters is an author working on editing and revising his first novel, because I'm pretty sure this book had no editing whatsoever. The entire thing is filled with grammatical errors, missing words, sentences that make no sense. wrong names, and contradictions of things the author says earlier in the story.I could overlook some errors if the story is good, but it wasn't. The character of Chris is fairly consistent, but Mason's personality was all over the place and didn't make a lot of sense. Some story arcs that should have been integral to the central plot (such as the issues with both Chris and Mason's exes) were just dropped once Chris and Mason got together the first time. It felt like the author either had no idea where to go with the story or couldn't be bothered to actually write a real story once the sex started. And, to make things even worse, you get to the end only to find "Coming soon: The Trainer 2 and The Trainer 3!" I absolutely detest this tactic of writing one story and breaking it up to get more money. If there is anything worse than a lousy book, it's a lousy book the author has the gall to charge extra for to see how it ends. Definitely not worth it!
