Great story line

Reviewed it on January 2, 2024

The main character starts an exercise routine every morning and the same paragraph describes it.....almost exactly! But am still waiting for book two.

good read when is the next book due?

Author needs to re-read the book....

Reviewed it on December 21, 2023

Very entertaining book. Could do with a re-read by the author so the "repeats" can be acknowledged, and revised for a smoother read. Storyline has immense scope and am really looking forward to Book 2.

don't repeat things continuously

Reviewed it on October 14, 2023

grammar could be improved and repeating his actions every morning could be improved to say ,I did my normal morning routine.

Good story, but needs editor

It needs an editor but enjoyed the storyline. Looking forward to 2nd Book.

Worth a read

Great plot lines, and would be even better if edited a little better. The cliffhanger at the end has me waiting eagerly for book two.

Good read but needs an experienced editor.

Reviewed it on June 6, 2024

Good storyline that develops nicely. Worth a read. Somewhat spoilt by repetitive text in each chapter, eg. " I awoke, exercised, practiced my huku, sensed the area, grabbed my walking staff, and took off running my route, keeping a steady speed and stride. When I reached my turnaround point, I increased my pace on the way home. After stretching, I showered, dressed, went to the kitchen for breakfast and supplements, " Look forward to Book Two.

Enjoyed the storyline and think it is a good start to a series. The continual repetitions of the morning and evening need to be addressed.

needs some work on repeated text done to an extreme. There has to be a better way to covey his repeated morning routine. Repeating the full paragraph is not the way.

Not for everyone

Reviewed it on September 6, 2023

Plenty of content.Things happen all the time. Doesn’t follow normal punctuation so sentence reading slows down - quite interesting! A certain paragraph repeats endlessly, almost like a chorus in a song!

It is good, but the start of the day and going to sleep stuff is a little to much repeat.

Great story concept

Reviewed it on December 6, 2023

This story could go in many directions or continue on the same course. The story is badly in need of editing, but I think many people have already mentioned this. Haven't heard anything from the writer in his blog, is there still going to be a book 2 ?

Great story, but.....

Reviewed it on November 24, 2023

I love the story, but need to fix grammatical errors. It was difficult at times to figure out who was talking and when they stopped and the next person is talking or if what was said was a characters thought or talking to someone. You need to get an editor and check for errors before releasing for sale and or SOL, where I originally found the story. I would of gave a better review if those areas was corrected. Also looking forward to see the next book, hopefully you'll get someone to go over the story before releasing it.

A good storyline hidden by repetition

Reviewed it on October 3, 2023

Honestly, the basic story is good. However there is lots of room for improvement. Missing punctuation and auto-correct errors, and the worst is the repetition. Did I say repetition? Let me stress that repetition that gets repeated constantly is annoying. Please get an editor and tighten this up-it's a diamond in the rough. Hoping book 2 comes out soon.

Poor editing

Reviewed it on October 17, 2023

The story was I treating enough for me to finish it. The really poor editing and repetitive Nature of repeating each paragraph with only a few words changing, drove me up the wall.

shiva

barely readable.

Reviewed it on October 1, 2023

The book is hard to read, the mistakes, spelling errors and the punctuation mistakes are too numerous to count. I wonder how long the book would really be if the 2 routines were repeated over and over again were removed. Are the authors paid by the word?

Really it's a first (rough) draft ...

Reviewed it on September 17, 2023

Has flashes of good story hidden in a lot of cut and paste. Desperately needs a decent editor, as all of the typos, misspellings and other stuff gets in the way. Having said that, I will probably read Book 2 ...

Repetition, the same thing, word for word, time after time!

Reviewed it on September 4, 2023

Good God, this thing could half the length and not leave anything out. Repetitive X. 100!!! Also, punctuation would drastically improve the readability. Interesting story, but get a writing team to help with the problems.

Great Title

Reviewed it on August 28, 2023

I bought this book about a week ago. The title of the book is the best part of the book. I am about 2/3s of the way through the book. I don't know if I am going to be able to finish it or not. It is by far the worst book I have read on Bookapy. If the author doesn't have an editor that is the first thing that they need. It is very hard to read. A lot of the book just doesn't make sense. I will try and finish it. I do wish that I had waited for reviews to come out before I bought this book.

Needs major editing

Reviewed it on August 27, 2023

The copying and pasting of paragraphs has to be cleaned out. Writer need to make up their mind if they are writing a novel, or a screenplay laughing.

Spent way too much time repeating....

Reviewed it on August 26, 2023

If you had skipped the copying, and pasting you could have finished this whole book in 8 chapters. The only good thing I could find in this story after the 4th chapter was that the price was less expensive than most other books on this site.

So poorly written I couldn't finish reading it. Got thru 5 chapters. I did this and I did that and I'm so awsome. Every day starts the same. After writing the same thing a couple of dozen times....it's a waste of time.
