Great story, bad ebook
A classic of the genre for good reason, and a terrific story. But these ebooks were clearly never proofed. Missing punctuation throughout, as well as what seem to be entire missing sentences (or possibly paragraphs or scenes--there's no way to tell). I'm reading it to my kids, and I repeatedly have to stop, scan what I just read, and go, "Uh... I think there's something missing again here."
This publisher is apparently a "literary agency" that seems to specialize in putting backlists back in circulation in ebook form. In this case, the author could have done a better job himself.
For tanj sake, Spectrum, hire a proofer. If you show this little class and respect to a major title from a major name, I can't imagine what you do to smaller ones.
