Review title: Great story - incredibly bad editing
Product review: I had a great deal of trouble getting through this book. The story is absorbing, the writing is vivid --- but the editing, to say the least, leaves something to be desired for a trade hardback. In the first 18 pages, I found ten serious editorial errors, including left-out apostrophes ("the Mullahs men") and hyphens ("off white", "five day"), misspelled names ("Addidas", "Dusseldorf"), misinflections (an image of an eagle "rung" with a circular band), and, unbelievably, an incorrect conversion from kilometers to miles. Such errors continue through the book. One cannot comfortably move with the flow of an author's prose when one's sensibilities are being continually assaulted by such barbarisms.
