1.0 out of 5 stars Where was the Editor?, June 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Road Angels: Women Who Ride Motorcycles (Paperback)

If you like reading with a red correction pencil in hand, this is the book for you. Getting through even one chapter is a chore because the reader must navigate through a minefield of botched syntax, misspellings, garbled grammer, unfinished sentences and plain ol' bad writing. If there's an award for the worst writing and editing, this book's a shoe-in! I felt as though the writer rushed to get enough pages typed for a book and didn't bother to even do a cursory check of her work.

The content is not much better. Skip this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst writing I have ever discovered in a book., August 12, 2002

This review is from: Road Angels: Women Who Ride Motorcycles (Paperback)

This is the worst writing that has been put to print I have run across in my 25 years of reading as an adult. Spelling is terrible. Syntax is worse, continuity of subject matter in a chapter or even a paragraph nonexistent.

I guess that the publisher is a vanity press, because no editor who speaks & reads english would ever let such bad writing get to print.

Avoid it at all costs.

1.0 out of 5 stars Women motorcylists, August 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Road Angels: Women Who Ride Motorcycles (Paperback)

I am a woman, a motorcyle rider, and an avid reader, so I eagerly anticipated the delivery of this book. I was incredibly disappointed. I can honestly say that I have never read (or tried to read, at least) a book so poorly written and edited in my life. Each and every page, and in some passages each and every sentence, contains spelling and grammatical errors. Incomplete and poorly worded sentences are the rule, rather than the exception. Unfortunately, the content was not any better. As much as I love motorcycles and reading, I could not get through this book.
