..For Money In Horse Racing.
Just bought this piece of waste paper off Amazon and feel compelled to share a quick review in case anyone out there might be similarly inclined to part with a few quid.
Actually that line was meant to put you off, but on second thoughts, I'd quite like to feel that I'm not alone, because nothing I can say here would adequately express how bad this book is.
It's truly astonishing in it's incompetence. If a seven year old produced writing twice as good as this, I'd be despairing at the failure of the education system. Of course he wouldn't - because nobody could. The grammar and punctuation have to be seen to be believed; and I still don't believe it.
That's before mentioning the rambling incontinence of the actual text, which reads like it was written by someone whose brain is spilling out thoughts ten steps ahead of his fingers on a keyboard.
If, by a slim chance the author sees this, or has his attention drawn to it, three words of advice. Find. An. Editor.
