3.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating, indeed, but full of grammatical errors, unfortunately!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Amazing Arizona!: Fascinating Facts, Legends & Tall Tales! (Paperback)
First of all - I love this book. I have it on my Amazon Kindle Reader and I am learning so much useful, fascinating information about Arizona. I believe the author really knows so much about the state of Arizona, and I like the alphabetical format for the topics, ranging from Hubbell Trading Post to Lake Havasu to the Havasupai Indian Reservation. I may retire to Arizona so I have a vested interest in learning all I can about this fascinating state. But, really, did anybody read through his draft? I have never seen so many grammatical errors -misspellings, repeated words, wrong endings, run-on sentences, etc. etc. in my life. Anybody from junior high school on up could have read through the draft of the book and marked it up with a big ol' red pen. Practically every page or two has basic grammatical errors. I have seven books published and I know there will be mistakes, but there is no excuse for this sloppy editorial "work". However, if you are willing to correct the multitude of grammatical errors in your mind as you read, you will very much enjoy the book and learn many fascinating and interesting things about the history, Indians, pioneers, and events of the state of Arizona.
