Grammar Criminals
*I received this book from the author for an honest review*
At one time all Language teachers have felt that they could strangle the next person to split an infinitive or misuse a pronoun or punctuation marks.
Grazine, the main character in this book is someone who reads frequently and became fed up with the multitude of grammar mistakes and typo's found in many of the books that are available today. The book is set in the future and shows that grammar and proofreading will continue on the downward curve it has been on the last few years.
In the second part of the story, our murder is a guest on the Dark Web, where she explains why she murders and the identity of her next target. The audience tries to find hidden meaning in her killings but ultimately it comes down to the fact that people write as they like without bothering to proofread before they publish and that it is unacceptable for someone that is a "grammar puritan", as she calls herself.
This much I am sure of, the author must have read too many books with errors and just snapped. I know that when I read some of the 'free' ebooks I just read over the mistakes as it feels there are too many to report and then, why bother? If we report all the mistakes, then the author does not need to proofread, we will do it for free!
The time spent reading this was time well spent. If you would like a short comical (maybe not to all) break then I suggest you read this. And if you have ever felt like murdering grammar criminals, now you can read about doing it and not dream about doing it yourself.
Enjoy your reading
