Title: Loved the story, disappointed with editing
Review: The poor review is by no means a reflection of Roots, the book. The story deserved 5+++ stars - it was moving, captivating, enlightening, depressing, joyous, and worth every single one of the 888 pages it took Alex Haley to spin the story.However, I was shocked at the number of typos that dotted this edition of Roots. They were everywhere! I'm accustomed to a few throughout an entire book - certainly not a few per chapter, as I found in this edition.So, readers, know that, if you buy this edition of Roots, you're in for a truly marvelous story, one that I believe every American should read at least once in his or her lifetime...just also prepare yourself to grit your teeth at plentiful typos.Just a friendly warning!
