These are fun novels to read and are well written grammatically except for an occasional run-on sentence.  The characters are also enjoyable caricatures, as is the plot, with lots of sex and violence.  However, Dev Haskell has to be the most dense and self-centered character I've ever run into.

I really enjoy these stories. I would have rated it 5 stars just based on the character development alone, but the spelling mistakes and typos that are littered through this series is beyond annoying.

This book is one of the best novels I've ever read and I've read a lot.  I think this is the best of what he has written.  The reason I only gave it a three star rating is because of the amount of punctuation errors in the book.  I've never read a book with this many errors.  The biggest error is the number of missing periods, at least three dozen.  Then there is the lack of un-capitalized proper first names (will instead of Will), incomplete quotation markings, and misspellings.  These errors are not unique to this book alone.  With the use of spell and grammar checkers, which are still fallible, I've seen quite an increase in bad punctuation and grammar in all sorts of books, thus dropping their quality.  If Mr. Reilly would implement these corrections, the Temple would be a perfect, exciting read.

By the third book in the series you would think that the author would have heeded the call by nearly every reviewer to get a proofreader. Nope. The problem is not just not knowing or caring about the difference between words like 'role/roll' 'pole/poll', but having no idea how a comma can increase the readability of the text. Perhaps reading the book "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" would be helpful.

Yet I am easily entertained by a hero who can dedicate himself to building and improving the world, or universe, around him. The stories are simple and fun and worth an "I like it" rating if it weren't for the problems noted above. If you enjoy the story concept then you have to be willing to overlook the huge writing flaws.

Good stories but less than good grammar.  Needs to learn the difference between "then" and "than". [...]  I haven't seen the "word" than once that I can remember.
A lot of sentences are missing words.  Forces you to re-read the sentence to get the full meaning.  If the paperbacks have the same text as the Kindle versions, then the publisher is doing a disservice to the reading public.
Still, I keep reading the books because I enjoy the story.  Currently reading book 4.

The storyline was very interesting and well thought out. The characters were developed but the transitions were not blended well. The author has great forethought and is very talented. I only gave it 3 stars because I dislike having to make mental grammatical corrections that when I read. If you can get beyond the grammatical errors, you will enjoy the book.

The book grabs you but the grammatical errors are distracting. The storyline is interesting which is why I've also purchased the second and third releases.

I'd like to give this 4 stars but the grammatical errors make it too difficult and have been driving me crazy. Otherwise great follow up to book one and I can't wait to read book three! I've gotten attached to the characters in The Configured Trilogy and really enjoy the plot.

These are really fun to read , with likable characters. Apocalyptic silliness pervades the tone, but it's an enjoyable page turner.

My only real complaint is a number of grammatical or spelling errors. Good editors can be hard to find. Nonetheless, it's still better than a lot of self published stuff that you see here.

I have no complaints with the writing at all.  I enjoyed both stories immensely.  They were interesting and well written, with characters I cared about and great lessons.

My problem with these books is the way they were presented, at least in electronic format.  Within a chapter, there are jumps in time and or between the character highlighted.  There is no visual cue that this is happening, however, so as I read along, engrossed in the story, I would suddenly realize that things had changed.  It was unpleasant and disconcerting, and could be resolved by something as simple as an additional space between lines.

I thoroughly enjoy the characters and situations in the Zoe Donovan books, but the author's grammar and word usage is sometimes poor. I find it distracting to find the wrong word in a sentence, which makes the whole sentence make not sense. That said, I will continue to read them as they come out.

I love these books, and have read them all far too many times now. The only problem is that it is an English translation of a Russian series of novels, and this seems to throw a lot of people off - either because they get caught up in syntax and grammar too much, and miss the point; or because they get too caught up in criticizing the translation to actually pay attention to the books. Sit back, turn off the grammar police in your head for a second, and enjoy some truly unique and fun stories! Hopefully you will get as much enjoyment from them as I have :)

These five novels kept my full attention and interest.  A major problem was very careless formatting in two of them.

The last mystery was formatted as underlined through.  One of the earlier ones was both underlined and center justified.  Underlining is bothersome, but center justification made it sometimes almost impossible to determine who was talking.

Despite the problems, I enjoyed them very much.

I found the first two novels in this series to be enjoyable and fairly compelling, but hard scifi fans may have a hard time getting past the author's lack of understanding of science...for example, the physics of centrifical force behind anchoring a space elevator, or even how many sides a hexagon has (hint: 'hex' is Greek for six, not five). For me, this detracted from the enjoyment of a good story. The books probably would have benefited greatly from a good science editor. Fun read, though..and I'm a sucker for alien artifact mysteries.

Good characters, decent plot and a good read.
This authors English grammar education seems to be sadly lacking, probably the result of the poor quality of public schools and universities and incompetent teachers today.  One glaring example is the constant use of the word "spoke" when "said' is correct.  Another is using set when sit is correct.  The author also seems to be in love with the word gaze, when look or stare would be better.
The plot and pace of the books are adequate but are predictable.
A competent proof reader would have been a great help.
All in all, though, the series is a decent read.

There is plenty of fun to be had as Caine shoots, slashes or sleeps his way out of every bizarre situation. I gave the book 4 stars because I didn't want to discourage people from the series which I find quite entertaining. However, for some reason the grammar errors are far worse in this book than the other two combined. It also seemed to get progressively worse as the book went along to the stage that I had to start making assumptions to what the author was trying to say. It became very distracting. I know the author promised readers the book would be ready in May but I can't help but think he would have served the readers and his own cause so much better if he delayed the release by a week or two so that it could be properly proof read.

Although I enjoy the series, if the next book's editing is this bad, I'm not sure I'll be able to finish. Hopefully, this book is a low point in the series for proof reading.

I've read all three books in this set. The stories make for good, light reading if you can ignore all of the grammatical errors, misused commas, and overused words.  Fortunately they were free with my Kindle Unlimited.
