This was a very poorly written book. I found one obvious grammar issue, one lazy mistake, and one grievous contextual error. This distracted me too much by the end to truly enjoy the book and really put me off reading for a few weeks. It's a shame when a publisher begins to obviously see an author as an algorithmic cash flow and no longer makes use of solid editing and proofreading.
