Negative Positive
Title: Badly Edited
Review: The publishers of this book, Orion Publishing Group, should be ashamed of themselves. This is my first book by alastair reynolds. Though I think he could one day be a very competent writer, I feel like he isn't really "there" yet. However, if Orion wanted to publish a book by him, they could have at least put an interested Editor on board in order to clean up the numerous spelling mistakes, typographical errors, character flaws, plot holes, and narrative definicies rampant throughout the novel.I skimmed the last hundred or so pages because the writing just got increasingly worse. The dialogue was terrible. There was constant repetition of previous passages. I feel like this book was written in pieces, and instead of tying it all together in a seamless fashion, the author clumped it together, and badly at that.However, I did finish the book, so there must have been some redeeming qualities.
Is the review positive or negative?
