Good book, but Kindle issues
11 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
First, let me say that I enjoyed this book, and I am a fan of the series. The plot is relevant (and interesting since it was written prior to 9/11/2001), and I have always enjoyed the author's writing style. So, I would recommend the book.
My issue was with the Kindle version of the book. In most cases where the word "I" began a sentence the number 1 was substituted. In MANY places throughout the book there were either open quotes to begin dialogue with no end quotes, or the other way around. This became very distracting, and I had to reread many paragraphs to determine where one character's dialogue ended and another's began. The worst issue was one place where, in the middle of a sentence, a good bit of text was dropped from the book. The main character was speaking to a minor character, and suddenly was speaking to a different character in a completely different location. To date, I still have no idea how much text was dropped. Luckily, I was able to figure out what happened, and it did not impact my understanding of the story, only my enjoyment. I let the customer service people at Amazon know, and they offered to refund my money and said that they would look into the problem. I don't know if the problem was corrected.
