Poor grammar and misspelling
590547
Poor grammar and misspelling. Innaccurate dimensions. Totally worthless buy. Get the book by Denis Gilbert; it is extremely easy to follow with great pictures.
Just don't get how something like this can be published without any editing. Don't waste your mone.

I read this book and, while I did finish it, there were so many glaring errors that the story was much-reduced in my opinion.  Aside from the many spelling errors (COMPLIMENT instead of COMPLEMENT; breath instead of breathe, etc.), there were also far too many instances where one sentence was divided into two, with neither half being a complete thought.

Whomever edited this manuscript did a very poor job.  I found myself thinking that perhaps the author is British and therefore Queen's English vs. American English could account for some of the errors, but was shocked to learn the author is a professor here in the States.

I do believe I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if I didn't get stopped by the glaring mistakes, which should never have made it into the final draft.

It is a shame that a book that could be a "good read" becomes an exercise in futility due to grammar and spelling errors.  I hope the author has her other works edited much better than this one was.

This book is fraught with spelling and grammatical errors, not to mention many names are misspelled.  Was there an editor for this book?

Graig Nettles spelled Greg. In one sentence the name Bob Gibson appears, only to be referenced as Gipson in the next sentence.  At one point the author manages to misspell the first and last names of the Pilots trainer, Curt Rayor as Kurt Raynor.  Many times only surnames were listed without a first name.

This is the kind of work I would expect out of a junior high schooler.  I am 55 years old, and this is the first time I wish I could request a refund for a book.

Disappointed.

This book deserves a zero rating. It is full of bad
grammar, misspelled words, and incomplete sentences.  Don't waste your time or money!

Did anyone edit this book? I can maybe understand one or two mistakes, but certainly not something on almost every page. Spell check on a word document would have caught most of the errors. A basic read through should have cured the many, many errors. One shouldn't have to re-read a sentence to figure out what is being said or who is saying something. There is also repeating of phrases, one of the majors being "her ring itched" or a version of this. I can't get into the book because of the poor writing and errors. Disappointed.

Nice story....but needs serious editing and spell checking. Very low quality grammar. A shame. I bought the Kindle edition. Do not recommend it.

There are too many spelling and grammatical errors.  "Court Marshal?" Really? I guess there is a reason this book is only $2.99. I can only hope that subsequent books in this series will be better edited and proofread.

This book has one sentence per page and is full of grammar mistakes. The pictures are black and white and look like they just searched Google for them. It was going to be a Christmas present, but with all the terrible mistakes I couldn't. Some of the facts aren't even facts.

This book was packed with spelling errors and poorly constructed sentences. It was difficult to read and tedious. I was very disappointed.

This might be an interesting, even good political thriller, but a combination of poor grammar and sloppy editing made it hard to follow the plot. Every few pages there were typos and grammatical errors that were so grating I felt as though I was reading with my mouth full of lemons. Words that were supposedly plural lacked the last s; words that should have been plural, i.e. senators, read as possessives (senator's). When I read "question and answer faze" I couldn't believe that someone hadn't read the book prior to publication and done some editing. At first I thought that the writing and editing would improve, but halfway through the book, these kinds of terrible mistakes made me able to read only a few pages before giving up for a while. While vacationing, I tend to read a book a day. This book, however, has made the last two days go slowly and I'm still less than two-thirds of the way through it. Yikes, it hurts to read a decent book while shaking my head and wondering who let all of these huge mistakes slip past them.

I have several issues with this book:
1. Poor grammar including the use of many double negatives. Book definitely needs an editor.
2. Multiple spelling mistakes
3. Out-dated information
4. Some of the answers are just plain WRONG!
5. No rationale is given...only the correct answer is supplied.

My biggest complaint is number 4. If SOME of the answers are wrong (whether due to typo or wrong info), how am I to know that all the other questions are right? I would NOT recommend this book.

Please be better about editing.  There are too many missing words and grammar mistakes.

The story line was good but I got constantly distracted by incomplete sentences, lack of punctuation, and unnecessary italics.  I had to stop and re-read sections to be able to understand what the author was trying to say. I would have given it a higher rating if not for the poor grammar.

I almost put this book down after reading just a few sentences. There were too many basic grammatical errors and far too many misspellings. It is not good for the children to see all those mistakes. They get the impression that spelling and grammar are not important when writing. I must decline from recommending this book.

This is a great concept for a book, but it is poorly executed.

I got this book for my daughter as she is getting into reading - she's 8 years old.

Unfortunately this book is so full of deliberate spelling mistakes that she was having trouble working out what the story was about. I bought the book to foster her love of reading and help reinforce what she is learning at school. However, this book is teaching incorrect spelling, has poor punctuation and grammar that it would her ability backwards. Words are spelt phonetically not correctly.

Poor choice. I want my money back!

Poorly writen with very poor editing.  Many gramatical and spelling errors.  Poor understanding of growing conditions and weather patterns.  For example, it is hard for weeds to grow in February in the mid-west, never mind after a nuclear war.

This book is terrible. The spelling and grammar is horrible. I found myself wondering if English is this author's second language.
