Question about space in sentence
The writing style of this book is confusing at times, switching the perspective of who is telling the story at any given time .

There should not be a space between the last word in a sentence and the period at the end of that sentence. Are you referring to your recent review? I just took a look at it and there is the same error - a space between the word time (the last word in the sentence) and the period.BookBuffoonery wrote:Can you please help me understand why there should be a space between the word "time" and the period at the end of the following sentence.

Yes, that's what I'm referring to. In the feedback for my review, I was told that there should be a space there.

1) there was a typo and the editor meant to say there should not be a space
2) you may have misunderstood the way the comment was worded
Either way, looking at the published review, the space you have in the review is an error so it was appropriate for someone to mention it.
