Izzy I didn't even notice!! Wow... that is a big mistake. In the second book he changed font for a whole entire page before switching back to the original writing. It was weird.

I respectfully disagree with your conclusion that the series ended without explanation. The only "cure" available to those inflicted is death. Those that are "immune" are able to begin a "new" civilization without suseptability to the sickness. I agree that the conclusion was not explicitly stated, but I feel the ending and the survivors' new beginning was sufficient.


Kelly Brigid ♡ ...Seriously? This isn't a big deal. Thomas' voice was way more hoarse since "each word ripped his throat raw". There's a big difference between hysterically screaming and coherently speaking.

Even if this was a writing mistake, why should that stop you from reading the rest of the book? It's not a big deal at all.

If a book has tons of writing errors, then yes, that would bug me as well, but I was saying that I don't think you should stop reading this book because you noticed just one. And it isn't even a writing error, for the record (Thomas was screaming hysterically). There's writing mistakes and typos in almost every published novel.

All I'm saying is that I don't think you should stop reading a novel due to one writing error.


LoveVickyHolt LoveVickyHolt Just as an aside, if a book published by a big name company can have this kind of error, then I hope readers will give Indie authors serious consideration. While the market is saturated with Indie authors, there have been several books with flawless editing, especially compared to the above example. Nevertheless, when a story is compelling, people read it, regardless of errors.


PinkPepper Nope but nice catch.

I don't completely find it a mistake, just a different way of interpreting what you read. I don't know how to explain it.

I noticed that too! he might've had a format issue.

Ok. I might give it a try. What are some good indie authors?


Kelly Martin If the font changed, would that be a writing error or a printing error?

Brooke All authors make mistakes, I always make mistakes when writing my novels. I haven't sent any of them in to be published yet because I'm still reading through all my books, trying to catch everything. It's no big deal; it happens often.
