Title: John Glatt's One Deadly Night
Review: While the story line in this book is compelling, the syntax and excessive overuse of the word "as" is annoying and breaks the continuity of the story.In many places, Glatt repeats the same statements, often within only one or two pages. Additionally, the author has a poor grasp of punctuation rules. His inability to use commas appropriately negatively affects the flow of the story. The book could have used the assistance of a good editor.The story, about a man accused of murdering his wife and children, is gripping. The author does a fairly decent job of writing objectively and keeping the reader interested in the outcome--in spite of the poor writing style.For those who are able to ignore the grammar (incorrect use of plurals and possessives) and the constant use of "as," the book will probably be a satisfying read.For those who are aware of the rules of grammar: buy a different author's account. Being an editor, this book virtually drove me insane.
