Interesting details mentioned but your review make me question about the hindrances in reading this book. Is it really bad?

It is more of an annoyance that interrupts the flow of the story oftentimes, however, I think that it still readable if you can look past the errors. The story itself is still top notch as I said in the review so you might try to give it a shot. Be sure to let me know what you think of it if you do indeed try the book out.

We could say that the Boronians might be similar to the race of Superman that has their superiority endowed by their genes. It sounds so intriguing to have your anatomy influenced by a deficiency in atomic structure. Thanks for your splendid review. If my fascination with the science involved here would prevail, I might overlook all the grammatical flaws of the story.

Oh man, it sounded like such an interesting book but I can't forgive bad grammar. Such a disappointment.

It is indeed quite the interesting plot line. I hope for a good round of editing in its near future. 😊

Damn i can't believe that a book with a well constructed world of super beings was destroyed by bad grammar and punctuation. Oh well that just goes to show that the book might have been rushed but it still has potential to be polished and become better.

Thanks for your hard work and sorry you had to suffer through that grammar.

Thanks. :tiphat:

It definitely has great potential if that polishing does indeed take place.

Grammar is a part of writing & you can't ignore it while writing a bestseller
