Rating: 3 out of 5

The Company of Fellows is a thought-provoking book. Dan Holloway did a very good job of developing a plot which is far different than other crime novels I have read. It delves into the psychology of the pleasures of life and, although a fictional work, it shows what could be a very real motivation for murder. Mr. Holloway also develops the characters in such as way as to make them realistic. If that were all there was to this book, I would give it the highest rating.Unfortunately, as an author, I can not read a book without catching many of the mistakes missed in the proofreading stage, if this was done at all. I do understand that independent authors may not be able to hire professional editors and that even traditionally published books contain mistakes. That said, I had to lower my rating because of the numerous typos, missing/extra punctuation, and other editing problems which greatly distracted me from thoroughly enjoying the book.
