Negative Positive
Title: Editor and proofreaders badly needed
Review: This book is informative and it would have been a good book if it were not for the innumerable mistakes of all types and degrees of seriousness, not to mention the writing style. I do not understand how a professional can publish a book in a language other than their own and not have it proofread and edited by a professional LINGUIST. A **professional linguist**, --(an English language native working in the Chinese>English pair)-- would have charged, at most, 7 to 10 cents per word. Is that too much to get a good book out to the public? The help from a husband has certainly been far from enough. The book is written using very short sentences and the style is, in general, linguistically childish. It is also full of unnecessary repetitions. I think an 8 year old can write better than this. I returned the book. Fortunately Amazon allows 7 days to return an ebook for the Kindle.
