Someone really went wrong on this one

They say they're slip-ons - but they are really oxfords
Even the image portrays an oxford shoe

Not to shabby- but not really comfortable for long wearin'
The sole does get chewed up relatively quickly on the streets

This is a story of an innocent girl who got mixed up with the wrong crowd and paid for her mistakes.

This is harder than it looks.  I'm a handy guy, and botched the repair all the same.  I can't recommend that you attempt this yourself.

This author's other book, Reasonable Doubt, is phenomenal, which is why I decided to choose other titles by this author. Mistake. This one book ruined that author for me and I'll be looking for someone new to read. Huge let down.

Not sure how people have given this book such great reviews.  Most DaVinci Code knock-offs require you to suspend belief to some degree, but this one goes too far. Every step of the way there is some part that defies belief and forces one to wonder if everyone can be so incompetent, stupid or both.  This is one that does not hold its own.

It's an amusing treatment of a major event, but marred by repeating the error that the Constitution requires that "the president, had to be native born" (pg. 32).  Errors such as that not only spoil the work but raise the question re just how serious a Constitutional scholar the author really is. She should have looked at the copy of the Constitution which she appended to her book.

I enjoyed reading the book, and for a while felt like I was learning something about derivatives and credit default swaps.  But then I noticed that, whenever he wrote about something I knew about, the author made mistakes.  Lots of mistakes.  For example, he quotes Newton's first law of motion as force equals mass times velocity.  That should be mass times acceleration.

Everybody can make an occasional error, but for example, on page 161 of the paperback, he writes the Greek letter beta when he means the Greek letter sigma, and then says that .3 per cent is one in a thousand when it is three in a thousand.

The book is full of mistakes like that, so take the economics with a grain of salt.

This preview that is written about this book is wrong. It's about another one entirely. This book is a surprise , as the ending is not the usual one when the bad guy gets caught.

I purchased this book because I love a challenge and thought something different would be a good experience. As a well seasoned needle woman I prepared to work on my first piece and it wasn't long before I realised the instruction were incorrect. I battled on enlisting the help of my quilting group and we finally worked out what I needed to do to achieve my project. It took many years of experienced patch working brains to fathom this piece of foundation quilting. The author may well have amended this book but how is the reader suppose to know this as it is often after a problem arises we look for a resolve. Shame on those involved in publishing a book that needed editing and launching it on the reading, practising public. If this were white goods I would have been entitled to a refund.

The author should really post an errata. There are several puzzles with errors and it is pretty annoying that a correction is not available anywhere.

For example, one puzzle (#243) needs the reader to figure out the sizes of smaller squares inside a bigger square. The given length of one side of the big square adds up to to 176. But according to the solution, the length of another side of the big square (that the reader needs to figure out) is 177. How is 176 equal to 177? How is this a square? The solution is completely wrong. Errors like this are frustrating occur in several places throughout the book.

not Miss Havisham, not Pip's rejection by Estella--what is truely heartbreaking is how this great novel (my favorite Dicken's opus) was  brutalized by Sarah Phelps. I was anxious to see this version because of the choice of Gillian Anderson to play a relatively young Miss Havisham.  Every other version of Great Expectations had portrayed her as being much too old. I thought that I was in for a faithful retelling of this wonderful story.  But honestly, the disappointment was so great that I could not sit through the first episode.  (a similar experience happened with Masterpiece Mystery's retelling of Agatha Christie's "Pale Horse," which was so badly hacked up by BBC writers that I actually e-mailed them to complain.  Their reply was that this is how their writers hone and perfect their craft!)  But my chief complaint is that when great works are bastardized in this fashion, people who watch, without being familiar with the work, may get the wrong idea about the author. Nobody benefits from this, except perhaps the screenwriter on payday.  Ms. Phelps should be severely chastized for turning Great Expectations into pig swill.  We should make her read the novel again and rewrite her sceenplay 500 times.

There is one very serious flaw in the plot of this story, and it is so ridiculous  an oversight that it creates a situation where none of the rest of what happened would have been possible -- NO surgeon, no matter how skilled, no matter how fancy / private / exclusive / elegant the  facility, would send a patient  back to a private room after major surgery and have her tucked into bed and left there all night without electronic monitors, nurses standing by and checking on her every few minutes, a full time staff member or trained medical professional right by her bedside or outside the room the entire night. This procedure sounded more like the treatment one would receive at a spa than at  a serious medical clinic. He would have his medical license removed for malpractice if this happened ever, even if only once. It would be dangerous, negligent and ridiculous to leave a patient alone after surgery that took hours under full anaesthesia without close supervision until the patient had recovered enough to be discharged.  This is such a gap in believability that it makes the fact that the victim was murdered irreconcilable with any reality. She could have died of complications from the surgery, the anaesthesia, infection, falling - so many other things before the perpetrator even got to her. This was such an annoying glitch in the story that it made it hard for me to believe or care about any of the rest of it - the  food, the chefs' weird relationship, the buildings, the connections, the grounds, the witch, the motive for the murder(s) - any of it. It makes me wonder if editors even read their clients' work any more.

incorrect information, unclear instructions, and a random story about a girl moving?  Sorry, but this is terrible.

This author takes something that we don't really read about and turns it in a disaster of a story.  I was halfway through this book and it just wasn't getting any better.  At that point I had to put it down.

I was going to give this a two star- until I got to the end.  Things that I thought were issues worked themselves out in the end: the unrealistic way in which Susanna spoke and Clara, a new foster mom, going on a date, getting drunk and bringing her date home.  The book had its flaws, but all the previous reviews are absolutely correct. This is one very scary story.

Ok, I have to say it really hurts to rank this book so low.  I have read all the others in the series and loved them, but this one has taken a serious spin for the worse.  The first thing I can't get past is the switch to present tense for all the writing.  Past tense worked great for all the others, why the change up? It felt like someone else was writing it, like bad fan fiction off an unofficial site.  Then, upon reading up on it, I found out that it actually WAS partly written by others doing just that.  Unfortunately, it really shows.  I liked the authors writing style in the other books, and this one feels as if the author ran out of ideas and just opened it up for others to write in the absence of knowing how to end the series. So sad that a great series was ruined by the "last" book.
