Title: Okay story, awful proofreading
Review: Shelly Reuben should sue Harcourt, they did such a lousy job with her book. Although her plotting and characterization are no great shakes, I would have found the book a moderately enjoyable read. EXCEPT for the inexcusable spelling mistakes it was riddled with. Actually, many of the mistakes weren't really in spelling but in confusing a word with a similar one. In other words, more ignorance than misspelling. Croquette instead of croquet, overhaul for overall (as in "the overhaul condition"), internment for interment, unphased for unfazed, premier instead of premiere - on and on, a seemingly endless list. The publisher is supposed to catch these mistakes, not leave them intact to expose the author's shaky grasp on words. I found it extremely distracting, and the combination of so-so writing with really bad proofing means I certainly won't buy another of her books.
