Subject: If you can't stand mistakes really really really don't pick these up. There are editing mistakes, grammar mistakes, continuity mistakes etc. She uses the same descriptive word in the same paragraph multiple times. Get a thesaurus girl! I could not get past the copy editing issues and the sheer bad writing to enjoy much of the story. They're having sex blah blah blah. He's rich blah blah blah. Save yourself the aggravation truly
In reply to: Maria 's message, "I don't want to be mean but I don't even want to read the books just because of so many reviews citing bad writing. I have the OCD thing with writing - every mistake or bad grammar or punctuation leaps out at me and really interrupts my eye. And Roberta Flack? Really? *eye roll*" on 16:31:43 05/25/12 Fri

[> [> [> I think I'll pass altogether. Until I'm done with school my reading time is limited and I'd rather not spend it being aggravated. *G* That same word repetition thing drives me nuts! There seemed to be a period of time a few years back where several authors discovered the word "frission" and used it far more often than they needed to, and now I cringe whenever I see it. Besides, with so many people talking about them, I'm pretty sure I understand the gist of the story at this point. -- Maria, 15:07:38 05/30/12 Wed
