Review: Another rating that suffers from poor Editing/Proof/Conversion
Rating: 4 out of 5

After I finish a book, I often read over some of the reviews again to see if I came away with the same impression as others did.  I'm seeing myself in agreement with a lot of the 4 star reviews.  I also enjoyed the book, and I also was not happy with the frequent typos and errors that are in the Kindle edition.  It spoils a good book.I am seeing that almost all Kindle books have this kind of problem, so I can only guess that the majority are caused when the book is converted. Which is a depressing thought - it takes away so much of the enjoyment in reading.  My spelling is terrible at times (I appreciate Spell Check!) and my grammar would not pass muster often enough, but beyond those issues are misplaced words, formatting and a number of other problems that are like a speed bump - they force you to slow down, analyze what it should be and how to 'drive' over it, and then try to resume your journey.  If this is the new face of publishing, we should all be concerned.One thing that distracted me a lot was the Doppelganger.  My familiarity with the term is the more modern version, where the doppelganger is a double or look-alike of the person in question.  How Robert and Kitty (or whatever name she was using in any given chapter) were so convinced of the doppelganger's existence was confusing, and until the end when some questions were answered, I couldn't understand their need to flee from something they weren't even sure existed.  If it had arrived at the same time, how could it have overcome the transition to the current century so quickly?  Questions were ultimately answered, but that portion of the story line was just not handled as well as it could have been, and I still have doubt that doppelganger is the correct term in this case.Overall, I enjoyed reading this book, and I see great potential in the author.  We, as readers, need to unite and push for better conversions of our e-books.
