My response comes with a caveat: If you're easily pulled out of a story by misspellings, poor grammar or other mistakes you'd think a professional author should have avoided, then don't read Marc Cameron's Open Carry. It's the lead book in the Arliss Cutter series and it's a fun read about a Deputy US Marshal in Alaska. There were just too many instances, though, of the wrong word being used (e.g. defused rather than diffused with respect to lighting; amuck rather than amok (okay, amuck is an older yet authorized variant, but the story's set in modern-day Alaska, so...), a misspelled actual place name that figures into the plot a bit, etc.). He's an accomplished author, so I'm not really sure at whose keyboard to lay the blame. Naturally, it all starts with him, but what about beta readers, proofreaders, editors, etc.?  |
