This does what I wanted it to do....if it did not, I would write a complaint misusing grammar and syntax while appearing like an uneducated complainer who regularly complains.

The main problem I had with this book, is the frequent misuse of words; " formally" when the obvious choice would be "formerly" happened quite often, and on one occasion, the use of the word "desperate" when "disparate" seemed to be the word that would fit the narrative. I see this sort of thing quite a lot lately, and am somewhat bemused when authors thank their editors profusely. It seems to me as though proofreading has been delegated to Spellcheck.

I was appalled at the poor sentence structure, horrific spelling and abundant grammatical errors. I overlooked it for awhile but when I hit "gum-shun" for gumption, I had to stop reading.

Might be a bad translation, but sad sentence structure and too many obvious, unnecessary comments. Need a decent editor.

I'm  7% in and am finding rampant grammatical confusions and copy errors. At $7.99, the book needs to be clean as a whistle.

The writer does not seem to know when to use the subjunctive tense. As early as the prologue "I see them taking shape as if I was there."  It should read . . . "As if I were there" since you were not.
He also has the annoying habit of capitalizing random words like Cherokee (which is right) but Indian? And Medicine Man?  Why is "Psychologist" capitalized?
And on and on. No'easter should be capitalized and is not. Prose, to me, is both art and science; if the writer does not follow the basic rules of usage and punctuation, the I lose momentum.  I should not be forced to decipher what I think is being said. For that and many other reasons, I could not give more than 3 stars and probably would not give this writing team another chance.  There was not enough of a glimmer of talent or potential ROI.
Thanks and keep improving your skills.

I think this book is trying to say something important, but Peerman is a writer who needs a skillful editor to reign in some of his rhetorical tendencies. After a time the endless repetition of qualifying phrases that call way too much attention to themselves added a level of pretension to the writing and undermined the credibility of the advice. What were designed to make the author look smart or protect him through qualification only served to irritate and undermine. I suspect that a lot of the favorable reviews come from people accustomed to his way of speaking. I am not and am judging this strictly in terms of the writing. I just couldn't climb the hill of his writing to drink in the message.  It's too bad. Hiring a good editor to prune the book would have helped it enormously.

This is the worst grammar I've ever seen in a published novel. The first three pages had me howling with laughter.

This book is one that almost anyone could write.  Even though it was rather inexpensive, I wish I had my money back.
There were so many errors of syntax and content.

I found the content to be grade school level and I couldn't finish the book. I found both the typographical and grammatical errors so distracting that I found myself getting angry and stopped reading.

The writing did this story in for me. There might have been a good story underneath the poor writing - terrible grammar, odd word-usage, idiosyncratic spelling (and use of upper-case letters), and awkward voice - but I couldn't find it because I spent the entire book mentally editing and copy-editing the text.

The language is difficult and the book tries to explain the grammar.  Perhaps I need a "For Dummies" version

poorly written, bad grammar, otherwise a fair try at the concept about how to care for cast iron.

Grammar and syntax are so bad even a 5th grader will balk at reading this. This is obviously self-published and not edited.  This author wrote one book and is inserting breed names in the book.  The first chapter is breed-specific, but after that it's "insert breed name here".  There are many more reputable, breed-specific books.  See my full review of the same book only for Wire Fox Terriers.

I'm sorry but this is horrible. It's stream of consciousness, horrible grammar, and disorganized. I really wanted to like it but it is useless.

The story was not bad.  The writing was borderline idiocy.  Entire paragraphs were written as single sentences.  The author couldn't distinguish between "then" or "than".  He kept writing about people attending "collages". The Jr. High level grammatical errors were endless.  Either the author is a dropout, or he was drunk when he wrote this. I'm getting tired of purchasing books through Amazon that were written by hacks.

Misusing 'you're' and 'your' is a huge pet peeve of mine, and I couldn't get past the second page without being slapped with it twice. Loads of other spelling and grammatical errors abounded and the christian slant made this not my cup of tea...am glad I happened to get it for free.
