This book is written like a bad high-school essay.  It does not appear that any editing was done.  Starting right away with improper spelling, to sentences simply missing words.  The only reason I give it any stars at all is learning the history of this great theme park.  Aside from that terrible!  I cannot get over the number of errors and boring tone it reads in.

Diana,
  You need to have this kindle book edition edited.  There are word breaks all over the
Place that were most annoying. Otherwise. I'm a fan of yours!

I have read all three books in this series. I enjoyed the story line and here is the "but" problem; the editing is just awful! I read a lot of books, of all different genres and have noticed this same problem in many books especially in the "paranormal" romances, non one checks the correct pronouns, whether one is talking about he r she or him and her, the correct one makes a difference. When one confuses him with her it changes the whole context of a paragraph. Worse than that are the spell check errors. In this book the word precise replaced the correct work "precious" big change in the context of a description of the male character's opinion of the value of life.

Each error is small and can overlooked individually, after all we aren't talking about "great" literature. This a book to amuse the reader. It's supposed to be light and fresh, a easy way to pass the time. However at some point one gets tired of the errors and wonders if it is worth the. frustration. I would encourage a little more effective editing, not just of this series but,the whole romance genre. The whole genre needs some policing. A good editor is worth their weight in gold or better sales.

I would like to love the book as much as all of the 5 star reviewers do, but unfortunately the bad editing has ruined it for me. I am too busy to read as it is and I will not waste my time on fighting through typo's. It seems like it would be a fun read and maybe I will come back once it is re-edited.

Currently reading book 3 in this series and have to say that this series has a fantastic sroryline, however, entirely too many grammatical errors. Please, please, have someone edit your books before publishing them. You have a great story going here...

Proofread! Please! Words jammed together make reading difficult. I do not recommend this until it is edited thoroughly. Don't ruin digital publishing.

I'm in the process of reading The Queen of Diamond and have to agree with DJ's review. Although I think it would be a great story, the editing is horrible. It makes it very hard to enjoy the story. I am going to attempt to finish the book, but right now I'm very disappointed. Will post another review IF I finish the book. If any of you Indie authors are in need of a proofreader, I would be glad to assist.

My problem with this book, and the rest of the otherwise fun series, is that there are SO VERY MANY ERRORS.  Spelling, grammar, punctuation...!  This could be a great series with a few tweaks, but I simply refuse to pay for a book that I am forced to edit myself.
Shame.

If you are going to publish a book in a language that isn't your native tongue, please at least hire an editor to proofread it for you.  It's disrespectful to people who pay money for an e-book to have to read choppy, unclear and poorly written sentences. The information may be good, but it isn't worth trying to decipher.

The ideas and information in the book are very powerful, organized, helpful, and well thought out. I doubt this book was proof read or edited before publishing. If so they should be fired! The amount of misspelled, missing, duplicated, and errant words is beyond credibility!

Although I want to learn from this book I'm finding it very,very hard to read because the punctuation and grammar are so bad. Too much time is spent trying to decipher what the author meant to really say in spite of the mess of words on the page. It's very distracting from the message and I'm ready to toss the book before I finish it because it's so hard to read through the errors. Very frustrating! Reading the book should be empowering not infuriating because it's such a mess.

I would have given the book a 5 for the intended content and idea if it were not so impossible to read. I intended to buy more books from this author but not after this!

To the author and publisher..yes, I do think I can do better. If you want to hire me to proof read and fix it for your next edition you can reach me at don4surreal@roadrunner.com. By the way, the cover could be much better too! A shameful waste of what could have been a good book.

I enjoyed the story and liked the characters. The islanders made me laugh and kept me reading. However, the book needed a copy editor badly!!  There were dozens (maybe more than 100!) of errors and it was incredibly distracting. That is simply unacceptable for a published work.

Both stories are a great read, but the terrible editing let's it down every few pages or so.  It's quite distracting. Please fix!

OMG!  Let me first say, the story wasn't bad.  It was a decent escapist Regency Romance.  That's what earned the two stars.  But the editing!!  I'm a 7th grade English teacher, and my better 7th grade writers would have cringed at the editing errors.  The author needs to learn how to write a complex sentence.  There were fragments all over the place.  Then there were the typical word usage errors--there/their, its/it's.  There were also a lot of flat out wrong words--"balmy," instead of "barmy."  The one that made me actually laugh out loud was "on slot"  instead of "onslaught."  Then in the author's notes, she mentions her next book--"The Reluctant DUCK"!!!!!!  I'm thinking she meant DUKE!!!!  Really?  G.L. Snodgrass, hire an editor.

It would be helpful if authors spend as much time editing/proofreading their ebooks as they do writing them, or bite the bullet and hire someone to edit/proofread their work. The plot and characters are well thought out and above average. Incorrect word choices like "bolero tie" instead of "bolo tie" and "brass ardor" instead of "brass arbor" are intrusive and detract from the pleasure of reading the book.

The author needs to have help with editing before publishing. Maybe he just uses a computer program and tells the story. Nice job in spite of the flaws.

The book has great information, but is clearly written by a non-native speaker. While this isn't a bad thing, and is in fact very impressive for somebody to write a book in another language, the book should have been edited before being published. There are countless grammar mistakes--at times, it sounds like the book was written by a child simply putting their thoughts to paper. It really takes away from the great information the book has to offer.  My advice would be to get it edited, and then it would be simply wonderful!

The story was interesting but I think they should have someone proof read the book before it was published.  I found at least 4 errors in the book which really disappoints me when I find errors in a published book.  I question the author who allows this to happen.
