DESCRIPTION:
great deal at $3 John Murphy I purchased this book when it was on sale.great deal at $3.99. There were significant formatting problems and the book would not download. I did at least 4 chat sessions with Amazon reps and just couldn't get the download issue resolved. I finally asked for a refund and was advised a refund was made, however I have yet to see it. I have purchased dozens of books from Amazon and this is the first bad experience I had. Looks like several people have had similar issues.Amazon - fix the download proble. Amazon Customer said Don't waste your money. This book has very distracting copy errors. All the apostrophes and commas are replaced by rectangles with dots and numbers in them. There is a lot of British slang and local color that add to the reading difficulties.Only a few of the characters are sympathetic. I usually am able to wade through any book but I am beginning to think I am wasting my time with this disagreeable book. I am sorry I can't get a refund. Don't waste your money.. "Almost Unreadable, but not because of the writing." according to AJ. This novel from a favorite author arrived almost unreadable. Every punctuation mark was replaced by a rather large icon. I asked for help. Two people, both hard to understand because of accents, failed to understand how to help me. One kept me on hold for a half hour (Yeah, stupid me), and then still couldn't offer a solution. I'll look for another form of this book.
