Poor grammar and storyline was weak, apparently written in haste.

Good concept, just poorly executed. Wonder why just about every chapter lacked a concrete scene description. Poorly supported characters and settings.

This book is grammatically correct, but the plot is weak. After 3 days I had not completed half of the book.  Without intrigue, it was difficult to keep any interest in completing this work. This author needs to develop further before he publishes any further books.

I liked the storyline, but it was overshadowed by all the writing mistakes. This book had the worst writing I've ever seen.

Victim of rape finds sanctuary, love, and vengeance with the help of a MC.  This, in a nutshell, is the plot of this poorly written, grammatically challenged excuse for a novel.

Some of the most poorly written drivel I've ever had the displeasure of finding on Amazon. S.A. Hunter's prose is clunky and amateurish. The pacing is rushed. The constant use of modern anachronisms by the denizens of her fantasy kingdom is completely jarring.

A really good editor might have beaten this into something resembling semi-readable YA fantasy. As is, I'm not sure it was more than spell-checked before being published.

The grammar and paragraph structure are so poor that I couldn't even finish the first chapter. How on earth did this receive four stars?!

The story was intriguing by was poorly edited.  I found myself constantly trying to change words or spelling especially there, their and they're.  That distracted from the story line. Weak descriptions made it seem choppy or disjointed and the ending seemed a little too abrupt.

This third book in the Zoo Crew series shows small improvement from Book 2. At the beginning, the author seemed to be making more of an effort to write a *book*, not a screenplay - which is why I bumped this book up to 3 stars from 2 stars, some credit for effort, you know. But before long, old habits took over, and the choppy writing, with poor grammar and word useage, took control once again. And again, it's a shame because the storyline isn't bad, and the characters have potential; in the hands of a good storyteller, all three books could have been very enjoyable reads. I bought the first three books in the series before reading any of them; if I'd read Book 1 before buying the others, that would have been the end for me. I noticed a Book 4 - don't recall the name - but I'm done. The stories aren't nearly good enough to overcome the poor writing, and I won't waste any more time or money on them.

While the story is mostly enjoyable, the book stumbles on grammar, pace and general editing.  The multiple misspellings, grammatical errors and the chopped pace, as well as a ton of overused cliches made this read difficult to get through.  The author, like others have mentioned, does indeed have a story to tell, he is enthusiastic about his pursuit of triathlon; however, his poor grasp of writing as a skill simply killed the book.  Adult books should not contain virtually every chapter being less than five pages- this book appears somewhat large, but it contains largish print and a multitude of blank spaces- may of the chapters are a page and a half.  The author would have been better suited to write in a blog- and even then, his decided lack of command of the English written language would be evident- but at least then I wouldn't have wasted my time or money.

This book is poorly written and edited, and it jumps around with little to no background or context, as well as failing to develop the characters.

I had the feeling this was written by someone for whom English was a second language. Poor syntax, sentence structure and word choice were used throughout the book. The editor should find another line of work.

The writing and grammar in this book was so bad I could hardly read the first few chapters. Better editing would be beneficial.

I found the storyline interesting, but could not get past the poor grammar and punctuation use. I noticed run-on sentences, places with missing or misused punctuation, and at least one sentence that was missing a word (the part where Adi moved the remote for the first time, and her siblings were "over friends houses"). I think if someone would proofread the book and correct the small mistakes, it would be something I could read. As it is now, I couldn't finish it.

Although the storyline was good, l did not care for the writing. It  Was like a child wrote the story.

The high reviewers must be friends of the author or used to bad writing and poor editing.

The span of the book is about three weeks but the author kept trying to make it seem like the characters were going on this epic rescue while the princess languished in a dungeon. The writing was amateurish at best and the plot made me want to tear my hair out.

Poor grammar and bad editing distract from a shallowly developed story. Dont waste your money on this bit of tripe.

The storyline was good enough, though I felt like it wandered from subject to subject a bit too much.  It also spelled out a lot of details that didn't matter and only served to slow things down.

But then there were the grammar errors.  Oh, the errors.  The author needs to learn the proper usage of "its" vs. "it's" and pay more attention to punctuation and things of that nature.  Seeing basic writing errors in a published story really pulls you out of the moment and ruins the experience.  I've noticed this in every book of the series, and I don't understand how the books managed to get published with so many errors in place.
