Title: The Mocking Program
Product review: I opened a pdf version of this book on the strength of a blog posting that said that the first two chapters were extraordinary. I won't contest the assertion because I didn't get past the first page. Why? Any author who presumes to use Spanish in his novel better get it right. Any publisher who presumes to market a book with Spanish phrases in it (front page, yet) ought to have a Spanish proficient editor or copyeditor check it. Anything else is sheer disrespect.I often read publishers' advice to writers more or less along the lines of "if you don't care to get it right, why should we care to read it?' I'd say that's pretty on the nose with regard to this book now. And that's a shame.
