I rarely get to pick up a good book these days. I did land myself a copy of Undead (Forgotten Realms) dirt cheap at a local Waldens.
So yesterday at the beach I started to read this D&D novel. So the story was pretty cool. BUT then came the word use issues. Seriously....this guy reminds me of the game designer who I was so blessed to have gone to college with who told our professor that "I don't need college, I'm going to write RPGs." Within 2 pages, Mr. Byers uses the word "Dived" instead of "dove." I can't imagine what is coming next.
This seems to be a trend. Poor editing. Now I am not perfect (all one needs to do is pick up one of my games to see an error here and there), but this book is put out by a big name publishing house. So where the heck is their quality control. I don't feel so stupid these days because I tend to have less mistakes than Wizards of the Coast......
How many other authors out there that are just as bad? Speak up!!!!!
