excellent story but the typos are distracting
931448
I love the story, but I found the multiple typos to be distracting. How does this happen? I'm almost afraid to start reading another ebook books just for that reason. I wonder if the typos are also in the hard copy versions.  Are there any qualified proof readers out there?

I thought the story line was well developed and the characters were engaging and well developed. I kept reading because of these two things, it was enjoyable but the story needs a serious editing.  There were so many mistakes that are distracting and annoying and shows poor professionalism. Most of these articles and sentence switching and dropped articles and spell correction errors should have disappeared with any attempt to reread the work so this was very saddening.  Still very enjoyable just wish it would have received some serious proofreading.

Very likeable characters and a really cute story line.  My only criticism (hence the 4 rating) are the many typos ... I've seen worse but it is distracting and so unnecessary.  I find that these mistakes always do take away from an otherwise enjoyable reading experience.  That being said, I will read more by this author and hope the editing is improved.

I really enjoyed the story of the book. While some of the scenes are hard to stomach, they got the story well. The hardest part of the book are the typos.  Clearly, the book was not reread for errors after making it for the electronic format. Clean up the typos and it is a great book.

I loved this story and really like the author and her fresh ideas but the editing or proof reading is badly done. I think she has what it takes but she needs a better editor that will catch mistakes better. I look forward to more of her books and hopefully a different editor.

Loved the story and am almost done with the second book. The writing is quite good, great character development. But please, please find an editor that knows the difference between the words "passed" and "past," "through" and "threw," "affect" and "effect" and many others. Though I enjoy the story, it's getting really distracting seeing the wrong words used consistentaly and/or interchangeably. If you can't find anyone, I'll volunteer. :)

This is a great story and I enjoyed reading it.  My only beef is the Kindle edition is seriously lacking in formatting and is riddled with typos.  Just a heads up.

Good story that keeps in riveted for most of the book. It is however very frequent that you would come across typographic errors and grammar gaffes. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Loved the story but the typos distracted me too much. I enjoyed the literature lessons and felt like I was back in class.

The story was good. The details of this lifestyle are believable. However, the typos disrupt the flow of reading. :(

This was a good story but I would have to say l would have enjoyed it more if it weren't for all the typographic errors. One or two mistakes are easy to ignore but the number in this book made it really hard. To switch the names of the faithful retainer Frank with the terrible brother Frederick was confusing.....especially when Annabelle was talking about giving her coffee house to Minnie and Frank (Fredrick). This happens a couple of times. For some reason the first letter of pronouns get dropped a lot too. Changing she to he. It is hard to read "he hugged and kissed him", and errors like that occur repeatedly. This was really a good story, but if you're like I am a little proof reading would have gone a long way to along it a great story.

I enjoyed the story line but I can't give more than 3 stars because of an excess of typos and other mistakes that made reading it sometimes a chore of deciphering. The author told a good, involving story and I am not being picky just because I'm a retired teacher. Actually, Spell Check alone cannot catch all the mistakes because sometimes the typos turn a word into another word that happens to be spelled correctly but doesn't make sense in context.  For that, a real live person with a pulse rate and heartbeat has to care enough about the submitted work to actually reread it before turning it in to be published as is.  I'm going to read the sequel out of curiosity and because I liked the characters enough in "Wild Thing" to want to find out what happened to them.  I just hope it has been edited better.

I loved the story. Kept me on the edge of my seat. My favorite one in the series so far. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because of the distracting grammar errors. I don't know why some authors don't bother having their work professionally proofed/edited. This would be worthy of five stars if the errors weren't so frequent.

Here's the deal the story was great, but just like the previous book to this series there are typo's and plenty of them! This would be absolutely amazing if there could have been a bit more editing for before it had been published. There are considerably fewer typo's in this book compared to the last, but the fact that it wasn't cheaper with how many errors there were in it is disappointing, I loved the story of the family but the editing is definitely a place of concern

I've read both of these books before, so I won't bore you with details on the characters, plots, etc.

This is a BEAUTIFUL book.  The binding is fantastic, the pages are crisp and clean and I love the little ribbon attached as a bookmark.  Really well constructed and sturdy - I expect it to last a lifetime.

However.  Ahem.

TYPOS??  Seriously?  Isn't anybody proofing these things?  In the 21st century, typos in a classic novel are simply inexcusable.

The story is great and the book lays it out in a good way but it's seems like it was rushed through proofreading because the typos are way too many and it's takes away a bit from the book.
