Review: I Don't Even Know If This Book Is Good
Rating: 2 out of 5

Don't go by me, I requested a refund after only about 20 pages, so I don't have a clue whether this book is truly five star, or a totally terrible book.And I almost never abandon a book. But as I read I got angrier and angrier at the author and the publisher.I mean, are so many authors illiterate, writing in English as a second language, or have all the editors just upped and died?In the first ten pages, they had the same annoying typo four different time:"He walked passed". Harrumph. You mean neither the editor nor the author knows the difference between "passed" and "past"?On the 11th page, I got another obvious and amateur error: 'He knew where all the surveillance cameras where' "they where"??? Give me a break.And then about a page later, a totally incomprehensible punctuation - try this one on for size "the "'Texan woman". What the heck is "'Texan????I don't mean to nitpick, but I was constantly jarred out of the story by amateur error after amateur error.I paid for this book. If it were another Amazon item, it would be returned as defective. Which is exactly what I did with this one. I'm sick to death of having my intelligence insulted by slovenly-edited books, which seem to abound in gay fiction. It shows no respect for the reader.Should the author upload an updated copy that had actually been edited, I might read it and review it again. But, as it is, it's beyond my patience, at this point, to slog through 9th grade editing errors while trying to get lost in a story.
