Too many times the word" passed" was used instead of "past", several sentences were incoherent, and the word "amongst" was quite redundant. All of these were distracting to the reader and made it hard to focus on the story. I would encourage the writer to read books by a variety of well-known and widely published authors in order to build a better vocabulary. Don't just whip out a thesaurus and expect to know how to use words. Practice by using new words in conversation as well as writing. Many successful writers will advise you to write what you know. Don't try to impress your readers with elaborate words with which you are not familiar. Let your own words flow as you write. Ask a former teacher or someone who is knowledgeable about writing to read your work and assist you in editing it. Finally -- by all means -- proofread before final publication, please! ### ⭐ DO NOT BOTHER *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2015* I didn't find an a error until two thirds of the way through chapter two.

Jack and Kyle makes two. Several is more than two. )3364 and when they pulled ( away ) he forlornlyHmm 111 errors. That's way too many. Obviously no final proof-read of the final draft was done. I don't understand why authors are in such a rush to publish that they are willing to foist error strewn stuff like this on we the tortured reader. I usually stop at 10% if the errors are so frequent that they destroy the flow of the story. For some reason I stuck with this one in the hope that it would improve. It didn't. Nor did the story actually finish. A book is supposed to have a beginning, middle and end. This one, not so much. In fact this part of a book was the beginning and I'm not going to be forced into buying books two & three or however many there may be. Don't like this type of switch and bait marketing by authors. Much happier to pay more for what is an actual book. I don't see any paper books trying this technique. They wouldn't get away with it. The poor book seller would be pelted with the object of our frustration. Ouch!So, the stars. 2 as it stands. Too many errors. Too little story completion. Too little too late.Do not recommend until the errors have been removed. There may well have been more than the 111 that I noted. I wasn't actually looking for them, they just kept interrupting me.Also should be marketed as Part One of a book, not masquerading as a whole tome.There are a couple of good one-liners in there, but would improve with more of that quirky humour for example: when the little old lady falls to the ground avoiding a large black vehicle there is the following:Her name was Gertrude Grover, lately of the ground and now in a foul mood.I was hoping for more of this but it didn't happen. More of the interaction between the two old ladies, but it didn't happen. Yet, anyway.Disappointing would me my summation. Promise did not come to fruition.I am still shell-shocked by the number of errors as I gather this author has previously published. One would hope these offerings may have been edited a little better, commiserations if they weren't. I may still look at other books by this author, but not just yet, I'm still a little error shy. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Too any editing Errors *by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2018* what started out as a 5* book quickly got down graded to a 3*. to me nothing is worse than being totally into a book to be hit with typos and editing errors. my enjoyment stops immediately while i try to figure out what the author was trying to say. i truly understand authors wanting to self publish. However i as a reader should not subjected to below par editing. good thing this book was free or i would be asking for by money back. why not offer beta readers free future books if they would also report any editing and/or typo problems along with story line problems. sorry but i will not PAY for the next version in this series. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/13654279-hawthorn-inn-the-catalyst-series-book-1-volume-1](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/13654279-hawthorn-inn-the-catalyst-series-book-1-volume-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
