Negative Positive
Title: Typo-a-rama and very poorly written.
Review: I am an avid fan of the "Survivor" show, and I bought the book primarily because I have been in withdrawal ever since the first season ended. However, as I read the book I could not get past all the typos and fact inconsistencies. The fact that once the author refers to castaway Sue Hawk as Sue Hatch makes me think that he really didn't take the time to think this out. I appreciate the fact that the book is a collection of memoirs that was compiled as the show was being taped, and I can understand that there might have been little time for a well thought out format. However, come on! The word "competition" is not spelled "compeition" (p. 221), and this is just one example. Clearly a spell-checker was not used in this book, and there is no excuse for that. With all the millions and all the glory, I think Mark Burnett could afford himself to re-take some high-school English and get an editor with a spell-checker.
Is the review positive or negative?
