My impression however is that no book which begins awfully written recovers later on -- the author doesn't midway learn to write a better book. But I still must read the thing. Sigh. That's why I'm paid the big bucks, ha ha (typical for most book reviewers, I get zero money -- I do however get to keep the book which is mailed to me by my editor -- sometimes it's a "keeper" and sometimes it's a book to simply give away)
