Review title: Oh for the want of a spell checker.
Product review: I had high hopes for this novel, based on reviews I read on amazon. I purchased the Nook version (sorry amazon)and was happy enough to delve into it. Within a few pages however, I was itching for a "pen" to start correcting obvious/blatant/ typos and missing punctuation. Granted, this can't be blamed on the author, but the editor/proof reader/ should be ashamed of themselves for letting a product this poorly edited hit the market.Now I got to the meat of the book, and was again disappointed. The prose was breezy and flowed ok, but I never got a sense of the characters (mentally or physically) and why I should give a rats patootie about their needs/desires/problems. I felt the same with the environment/landscape of the book. I never found a "hook" let alone a "line" or "sinker".I would not recommend this book for those flaws. A well written, interesting alternative in a similar genre is The Last Day by Glenn Kleier.The Last Day
