I wanted to like this book. I did like it well enough to grit my teeth and finish reading it. But I will never read another book by this author, unless I am being paid to help edit it.

This could've been a five star story. That's the painful part. Had the author employed a competent editor, I'd certainly have been able to give it more stars. I got my copy for free. On amazon it's 99 cents. But there are so many typos, flipped words, wrong words, misused words, repeated phrases and repeated show more internal dialogue laid out in choppy paragraphs that I feel like the author ought to've given me money to read it. That is not a good business model. Brought closer to perfection by using the skills of a good editor, the author could charge more per book. The talent is there. But the execution is terrible. All the power, none of the finesse. show less
