This is a very disappointing book which appears to be a transcription made by someone whose first language is not English and who is not familiar with the English alphabet. That person's poor grasp of punctuation and paragraphing rules makes it difficult to follow several passages of direct speech and, sometimes, to follow the action. Paragraph breaks occur in the middle of sentences, many words are hyphenated for no reason and spelling mistakes arise, seemingly due to similarity of letters: ('ear' appears as 'car' and 'I' as 'l') which is irritating, the most comical being when, about halfway through the book, the main character changes his name from 'Dirk' to 'Dunk'! Altogether a slovenly publication. I gave it one star because there is no provision to give it none at all.
