I just read a book that has hundreds of 5 star reviews on both Amazon and Goodreads and that many bloggers that I respect have raved about. I've gotten used to the occasional misspelled word, but in this book, the editing (both content and line editing) was just plain bad (or maybe it was just never edited?)
The thing is, I have no one but myself to blame because I read the sample first and saw a couple of errors, but went ahead and got the book anyway. Usually, if there are errors in the sample, that's an immediate no-go for me. At least it was just my Prime loan for the month, so I didn't pay any money for it. I'm bummed though because I have a big list of books I want to borrow and I wasted this month's choice.
