Although this book was entertaining, the misuse of commas about drove me crazy.
I have 73 "notes" on my kindle and 99% of them are about commas used incorrectly.
I keep track of problems as I read a book so I am able to remember things when I do a review. This review is mostly for the author as I think she shows great promise, but she needs to get a handle on punctuation. There are a few other editing issues such as question marks when there should be a period and the reverse as well. I noticed a few quotation marks that open but never close. Her work really needs editing, but it is not nearly as bad as some of the self published books I have read. THIS author shows a lot of promise.
A few words were incorrectly used such as week instead of weak, and whole instead of hole, but essentially the writing is good. It is the punctuation that needs work. The commas don't detract from the story too much, which is good, but the errors are quite noticeable. The author really needs to "brush up" on punctuation.
Overall I enjoyed the story (which I won't disclose as I don't believe in "spoilers") but the commas all over the place drove me nuts. There were some places that needed commas that did not have them as well. There were a couple of run on sentences too, but only one or two.
I encourage this author to keep writing, but to brush up on grammar/punctuation. Had there not been so many errors like that I would have given this a 4. I suspect this is self published. If it was not, the author needs to fire her editing staff.
A nice read, a decent plot, and a few surprises at the end. Don't let the punctuation problems stop you from reading the book--it won't even be noticed by most readers. Grammar and punctuation happen to be one of my pet peeves and it really separates the professionals from the amateurs.
This author could be a "pro" if she'd just brush up on English grammar and punctuation. I think she has a lot to offer and hope we see some more from her that is perfectly "polished".
