Negative Positive
Title: Complete lack of editing
Review: I love this genre of fiction (although the distance between fiction and current reality in this country is becoming increasingly narrowed) but this book is just awful. Stereotyped characters, an unrealistic disaster scenario, an adolescent focus on weaponry and, what appears to be very poor, if any, editing based on the extensive misspellings and misused words that spellcheck can't be expected to correct. I simply had to quit reading after the second use of "wondering" instead of wandering on the same page. Stilted and completely unnatural dialog with every character utilizing other characters' proper names in every sentence. This just isn't how people talk to each other. This author would be well served to try to "hear" the dialog he is creating. Sorry, but I just couldn't finish this one and I have waded through some pretty bad books in the past.
Is the review positive or negative?
