Interesting but poorly edited
340080
I liked the content and found it interesting.  As just another frustrated author/English teacher, I found the editing appalling based on the lack of the correction of basic grammatical errors. Somebody got paid big bucks to throw this together and never took the time to read it and fix those errors!!  Annoying!,

I enjoyed the story and the characters, but almost didn't finish because the editing was so bad. Misplaced commas, mis-spelled words, inappropriate capitalization, incomplete sentences - you name it it was probably there. The storyline was fairly predictable and the writing was at times unpolished, but it was a nice afternoon read.

Although a lot of research and 'connecting of the dots' went on with this book, the poor editing left so many grammatical errors as to be distracting and took away some of the credibility.

Could have used a more astute editor. Many repeated phrases and redundant content. Still an interesting and informative read. An accompanying time line would have been helpful.

The story itself unfolded nicely, and was enticing to read, but unfortunately it had been poorly edited (if at all), and even the layout was off every now and then. I wish they had spent a little bit of time extra time perfecting the language, as it sometimes felt like it had not been the author's mother tongue. And the whole package would also have benefited from checking that the layout works with Kindle, not against it.

I enjoyed the story, but found the lack of editing often irritating. Poor punctuation, incomplete words, and improper usage of character names are frequent. I will continue with the next book in the series with hopes to see editorial improvement.

Very good information, but editing was a bit dismal.

This is an interesting book with lists of ten items from the civil war:  the ten best generals; the ten worst generals, etc.  My only complaint is that it needs much better editing.  The names of several generals are completely in lower case letters; the author consistently misuses the word "principle" instead of "principal."  I know I am a stickler for correct usge, but oversights such as these call into question the accuracy of the entire work.

This book is very interesting and routinely hilarious but not well edited, having many typos and errors. Still, however, worth a read... but it won't win any Pulitzers!

Although this book was interesting, it certainly needed an editor.  The author ended so many sentences with prepositions it got in the way of the content, also lots of misspelled words. One didn't learn much more about Camilla than is already public knowledge.
It was helpful to get all the information in sequence.

Poor editing, but interesting material.  I had to re-read some sentences many times to capture the meaning.  There are misspelled words and often, the wrong words were actually used. I'm not sure if this was the author's ignorance, the editor's laziness, or mis-translation of some kind, but the result was an interference with my throat chakra!  :-)

The story was interesting but the writer is prone to providing excessive amounts of expository information in the beginning of the book instead of showing the reader through dialogue or even flashbacks.  The author's use of expository information does decrease about halfway through the book, but the continuity of the storyline begins to falter a bit because the reader is not provided with enough action or dialogue to adequately follow the decisions and post traumatic events holding the main character back or propelling her into action.  As noted in the title there are noticeable errors in word selection, grammar, and punctuation that detract from the book and give it an unpolished amateurish feel.  I do believe that with some professional editing and critique the work would be much stronger.

Good and interesting but needs editing. Still it kept my interest all way through

Some interesting stuff, but really could have used a good editor and organizer. Wanders a bit.

This book had lots of nuggets of interesting information but it is poorly written and edited and can be a very confusing read.  The author skips around and repeats herself making this book hard to follow.  I would  recommend you read the author's second book "Dear Companion..."  about her incarnation as Thomas Jefferson's wife.

An excellent story thread that is both informative and entertaining. However, this is the most poorly edited book I have ever purchased. Words were omitted or placed incorrectly in a sentence. Pronouns were not in agreement. When characters were speaking in what was supposed to be language of a certain area or level of education there was no consistency. A good proof reader could have made this a five star book.

This was a captivating story that I enjoyed and actually had a hard time putting down. The characters left a bit to be desired, though, and I wish they would have had a bit more depth to them. Unfortunately the entire book is riddled with distracting and irritating errors, such as verbs in the wrong tense, missing or misplaced punctuation, and missing or incorrect words. I don't know how it got by the editors in this state.
