Review: A New Genre: Quick, Careless and Cheap
Rating: 1 out of 5
Date: 01 31, 2013
Once again, I bought a 99-cent thriller without having high expectations. I just wanted a cheap escape. (That said, I have had quite a few experiences that have exceeded my expectations and have reviewed them accordingly.)But this book was simply amazing, i.e.,  in the "writer's" careless disregard for good writing.She profusely thanks her "editors" at the end. ??? What editors would allow these zingers: "her long legs attributed [contributed]to her height," "the furniture eluded [exuded] money," "motion-censored lights," "running mate [for candidate]," "passed [for past] and "lay [for lie]," "pouring [for poring]"...an apostrophe for every plural...and many more...but the best one was "The days were getting shorter and daylight savings time had not even begun..."Ironically these egregious errors are what got me through to the end of this book. I started looking at it as a parody of a boilerplate quickie. It then became fun and helped overcome the bland, undeveloped characters and vague subplot/"conspiracy."When I was finished, I clicked on the author's link and found this (written shortly after this book published):"How To Publish An Ebook In 5 Days"Funny? Yes. But not so funny to serious writers who work very hard to craft a book that is actually good and worth reading - no matter what the price.BTW: The rating system has a one-star meaning "I hated it." I didn't "hate" it. I am simply saying it is an inferior product and want to counteract the 5-star sock-puppets.
