The author has a near obsession with random commas and incomplete sentences.  The writing was so fragmented it was too painful to continue.  I can't give a decent review to a book I can't even read.  The editorial review gives no insight as to content or quality, and lacks descriptive language to entice readers.  Reader beware; a writer's "traditionally published" background does not guarantee success in independent projects.  The claim that the author accidentally "downloaded an unedited copy" is slightly suspect;  If this is the edited copy, I urge the author to get a new, professional editor.  A dirth of incomplete sentences and misplaced punctuation severely disrupt the flow of ideas and prohibit intellectual progress.*updateA gracious response to my critical review warranted an amendment to my opinion of the author.  I will take the time to read the book and post an update with my professional opinion of its potential.  I would suggest a beta exchange group for invaluable editing, grammar, and character and story development coaching. A thick skin and an open mind will get you everywhere.
