Title: Good book, but poorly printed
Review: I agree in part with both of the previous reviews. This was a very good book and I'll read more of Karel Capek. It has a very clever theme and is not only good fiction but a social commentary as well.However, I would buy the paperback instead of this hardback edition. It has obviously been photocopied and has many defects, including almost no periods at the ends of sentences, very strange spacing and a few duplicated paragraphs. Some pages were truncated at the edges (copy machine), and there were many extraneous marks.Note that the preview on Amazon is the paperback and does not display those defects.That being said, it was still readable. If you can't get a better print copy, get this one. It is still readable and the content more than makes up for the defects.
Is the review positive or negative?
