Unreadable,
By Bad Moth (Hollis, NH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Soulard's Second Century (MO) (Voices of America) (Paperback)
This is one of the few books I've ever returned. The publisher should be ashamed for allowing the book to go to press in this manner. It is unreadable. The grammatical (and spelling) errors are so plentiful that I had to reread sentences constantly just to get the author's meaning. The subject (Soulard) is something that interests me so I tried for about 20 pages. Alas, I had to give up. It's really astonishing how poorly written it is. I'm surprised it was published. There's nothing else to say really. If you think I'm overstating this, simply check out Amazon's page-views and you'll see for yourself.
