Well, I'm the type that reads soup cans and hand lotion labels if there is nothing else printed around me and I was a bit short on alternative titles right then. If I'd paid bookstore prices for a paper copy I would have been incensed and writing the publisher but as it was I just kept going because the plot showed some originality and creativity. Oddly enough the author snapped out of it and the last 2/3rds of the book were much smoother.

Even more oddly, the very next idie book I tried had the problem, the opening sections needed way more copy editing and smoothed out at about the same place. If I were going to neglect part of my own book (if I had one I mean) it wouldn't be the opening.
