The Alphabet Stops with A for this Reader

I dislike giving anyone a bad review, but I was very disappointed in this book.  I had hoped to read others in the series, but not now.  This was a combination of bad writing and editing...in fact, I felt the editing was non-existent.

This novel is not one in which the reader is able to jump ahead and determine the primary theme and the happily ever after ending.  Rather THIS story engages the reader from the "get-go" and handles two storylines with finesse.
Unfortunately, the frequency of spelling and grammatical errors detracts greatly from the flow of the story lines because the reader must stop mid-sentence to "interpret" the author`s meanings or nuances.  For this reason, I dropped the rating from five stars to four.

The text is garbled from page to page. Many paragraphs are repeated and some are omitted from page to page.

It is possible to understand the plot with some imagination.

This needs to go back to the translator / publisher.

I would really give this book a 4 1/2,  I enjoyed the story, however I was not happy with  how  the story "did not end". It just stopped and I wanted to know what happened once they left where they were when the printing stopped. Sorry, I am so cryptic, I don't want to spoil the story if one has not read it.

The "i" gets stuck and it happens enough that I'm actually going to toss this keyboard and buy a new keyboard. Also the "N" has "V" written on it. Hella ghetto. i

I have long been a fan. I ljke the characterd and plots. The problem id that words snd phrases are missing at the ends of sentences and paragraphs  making it difficult to read as the midsing letters require the reader to stop and gigure it out. I did NOT GET MY MONEY'S WORTH.

The scanner was clearly not of the highest quality and often misreads letter combinations: cl- becomes d for example, or vice versa.  Eor oxx. is anyone's guess.  v seems to turn into a circumflex at times.  But it is OK most of the time.

Love following Kinsey, the story was going along fine-but it felt like the author wanted it to end quickly.  I did not care for the way the story ended, almost like it was tiring.  I love the Alphabet mysteries, this book, along with 'U' was a little disappointing.

For some reason the book is showing up vertically, so a part of a sentence per page!

From a parents point of view, I liked this book.  The story line was cute.  For those who like Olivia's antics, you will enjoy the show-and-tell part of the story.  There is nothing questionable about the book that would keep me from allowing my children to read it.

From an educator's perspective, this book was a bit frustrating.  It is suppose to be an easy reader level one book, but there are words in it that are hard to read for a beginner.  Consonant blends like sh are tricky for beginning readers.  There are also trick words such as ballet and walk.  The problem is that this could frustrate a beginning reader.  As an educator, we want to encourage reading, and frustration does not do that.

This ended rather abruptly, leaving reader up in the air as to what was happening.  To continue the story then next book is necessary.

Needs to be reformatted. The text breaks mid-word without hyphenation, so that letters and sometimes punctuation are orphaned on the next line, making the text very difficult to read. Someone more determined might eventually adjust to this, but that person is not me.

This is a good "read" - it keeps your attention, and you shudder with the outcome, but there are several places where there is a missing word, or the same phrase which is always annoying to me.  What happened to proof readers?  It makes me angry that the publishing companies don't care any more.  I liked this book, but I don't think it was anywhere near the caliber of "The Jakarta Pandemic".  Both fine books about the end of life as we know it - but "Jakarta" gets my vote for better plot.

A book printed from an OCR rendering. The OCR screws up quite often, notably on superscripts and footnotes. Still, it was worth buying for me because I wanted to read this important historian.

I bought this to help teach my 4 year old his alphabet.  There is a letter on each page.  The capital letter on each page is a weird script.  I couldn't recognize some of the letters as an adult.  It would be a good book if the letters were printed.
