Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I echo everyone else - the Kindle version published by Ball99 and distributed by Amazon is not the original book by Nevil Shute. I believe the Kindle version identified as Vintage International is the correct book. I have read other books by Shute, and have wanted to read On the Beach for some time. I noticed that it was a Kindle book, so I downloaded it without looking at the reviews, as I knew this book was highly recommended. Shute's A Town Like Alice was a very well-written book and deserves its position on many Top 100 reading lists. As I started to read this book, I felt as though it were written by a different author. The writing does not flow, and the dialogue feels like it was written by or for a third grader. It is very stilted, and I found it difficult to read. Still, I kept on, thinking that it was Nevil Shute, it would have to get better. NOPE - I slogged through all the way to the end. Fortunately, it was only 112 pages. How could the author of A Town Like Alice have written something so awful? I felt very disappointed. That is until I happened to look at the reviews to see that this is not the actual book. After some research, I determined that this Kindle version is NOT the correct version. So I will now be purchasing and reading the actual On The Beach, and I am sure that it will be 100% better than this trash.
