I am willing to read a good non-edited book. But only if it is book that interests me. I wouldn't read for example a romance novel, or a book for young girls because this is not what interests me.
I propose you start a new thread "I am looking for a beta-test-reader" or something like that with a short description of your book here at Mobileread.
I used to do critiques at
www.critters.org.
What put me off was that most of the stuff there was short stories and I prefer reading longer books. When I did find a book that looked interesting I often received answer like "thanks, I already have enough reviewers" or there was way too much hassle getting the book from writer, or the book was unfinished and being published in installments you were supposed to critique separately.
I am not an expert on English spelling of grammar - as you might have noticed ;-) but I can see other kinds of errors and story inconsistencies.
