OK, some feedback on the next edition...

Turing Evolved is original, engaging and the pulls you along, making it difficult to put down the book and to deal with real life. I enjoyed every moment of reading it and hope that the author will consider writing more books in this universe that he has begun creating. Since the book is written from the point of view of the main character I'd like to see some of the peripheral characters more thoroughly developed in some prequels and sequels.

When I started reading Turing Evolved I didn't know what to expect. I give many of the new sci fi books on Kindle a try, so finding this at $0.99 with some good reviews made it easy to take the risk and I was delighted. I am a huge fan of Asimov's Robot novels and while I found this book to be in similar vein, Kitson manages to pay homage to Asimov without ripping him off. David Kitson has given us a fresh look at AI robots and tells a good story. He has a lot of potential as a sci fi author so I intend to keep my eyes open for his future books.

Like many of the self-published works on Kindle, this version could stand a good proof-reading by someone who is not overly familiar with the story (i.e., not the author - it's too hard to see mistakes when your brain knows what you meant to type). I didn't find the typos overly distracting but I know that some readers do.


This one was posted on Amazon today and given that they paid for it, I'm guessing it's the new version. A rather insightful reader too.

I still got five stars ( a generous reviewer ) but they mentioned the proofing So yes, I'm still collecting corrections

But this version is still a HUGE improvement on the last -

Regards
David
