Bears Behaving Badly by MaryJanice Davidson
1.0
This book was a pass for me because of the punctuation.
I usually can overlook it but wow I actually bought this book and had to check to see if it wasn’t a complete copy because of how bad the run on sentences
(and the sentence structure)
(all the parenthesis)
( and italics in parentheses! )
were just outright distracting.
Here’s an actual example
She let it cook for a minute, then grabbed a rubber spatula and ran it around the edge, lifting the bubbling, thickening omelet up here and there so the raw eggs could run beneath. A minute later she plopped the thing on a paper plate
(note: dishwasher soap)
and sat across from Pat, who took one look at Annette’s repast
“Want some?”
and shuddered. “You’ve gotta know the answer is a vehement ‘Oh dear God, not even on a bet.’”
Ok. Imagine that but for the whole book. I couldn’t tell you much about what was going on because I just couldn’t follow it.
Maybe try it on audiobook?
