Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Am I the only one to question the writing skill displayed in this book? The storyline was interesting and it could have been a good book...if someone had only edited the writing. It is horribly overwritten. Overused -ly adverbs and 'big' words bog it down. You have sentences like this: 'Alexandre was saved from the need of a retort by the sacrosanct rogations of ordering food and drink.' Not to mention questionable character development. Am I supposed to like a female character who's thankful she got a promotion because she didn't wear a bra? I quote 'Capucine thanked the guardian angel who had talked her out of the bra when she was choosing her outfit that morning.' Really, where was the editor? What a shame, the premise was good but the writing so bad I couldn't finish it.
