What a pity! I was anticipating high potential when I embarked on your review. But the book turned out to be a disappointment. I don't think I will go for a read that expects readers to fill in the gaps. That being said, I appreciate your detailed and honest review. Thanks. :D

I'm not sure how someone decides they should write a book without even a basic understanding of how paragraphs and punctuation work. That's the sort of thing you pick up simply by reading other books... Thanks for a very informative review!
Exactly! That's what was so strange. It seemed the author had never read a book in English before, and you can't write without having first read. Thank you for commenting - I appreciate it :)

Loved your review :)
I know, it was hard to read, but I'm glad there were some enjoyable aspects. I don't think I'd have made it through the entire thing if not for Steve...
Thanks so much for commenting! :)

It sounds like a great premise for a story. It's too bad it was so poorly executed.

It sounds really interesting.However,it is also unfortuante that the errors are so erroneous.

Seriously, I was really interested at first with your impressive summary, but I read the sample paragraph and was immediately thrown off. Geat review Bonnie! :D

I had so much hope for this one but then I saw the '1 out of 4 stars' bit and it made me wanna cry. It's honestly the worst when a really good book fails because of lack of editing.

The unclear details spoil everything for me in a book. So unfortunate this one is a huge letdown.

Lovely review though!

Thank you for your review!

The plot sounded very interesting and it seemed like it had a lot of potential ... until I read the part where you mentioned the massive editorial flaw :lol2: Hopefully it will be professionally edited soon and maybe then, I'll give it a read. :)
