When I buy an eBook, I expect a proper book, made with just as much care as the paper version. This book looks like it has been hastily scanned and OCR'ed without editorial oversight. All quotation marks are missing, which makes reading dialogue a pain in the back side. Also all apostrophes missing (so "we'll" becomes "well"), other punctuation marks like : and occasionally a word spelt wrong. It's a shame Google sells books this way!

A little slow for me to pick up and get going and a fairly formulaic ending, but solid nonetheless.
