I finished my slog through Glen Krisch's HUSKS, which was a mess all around. The story needed a firmer editorial hand, as I personally found it to be both pointless and endlessly padded, despite the short length. Production-wise, the dust-jacket was too large for the book, it was cut wrong and folded wrong, almost every page of the book had a crease or a crinkle...just sloppy, sloppy work. And as a former CD proofreader, I was amazed and aghast at all of the spelling and grammatical errors.Something I took very seriously when I proofed for CD was overuse of words, such as using the word "Soon" three times in one sentence, variations of which happen with alarming frequency in this book.It caused the book to seem very unprofessional.
This is my second Krisch book, and my last...nothing in this mess clicked with me at all.
