1. Proofreading please...

   I've never written a review before, but this book has got me so annoyed I feel obliged to. To be short and sweet - I was very interested in this book, hoping to learn something new about EA, but the fact is that the standard of written english - grammar, use of words, even spelling - is so poor that it distracts from the content, making it at times almost impenetrable (which can be the case for books on this kind of subject even when the use of english is good). I had hoped this was just an aberration in Chapter 1 - but Chapter 2 is looking even worse, & I'm only four pages in - I won't give examples as there are just too many, on almost every page. Makes me wonder if I've got a dodgy advance copy that hasn't been proofread - at least I hope this is a failure of proofreading, because frankly in this state it shouldn't have been allowed out. It's not cheap, & it's a shame 'cos I think there's probably something good in there - but at this rate I doubt if I'll finish it, so I won't get the chance to find out.
