Great book, problems with editing hurt though

Loved the book. It was funny, action packed, and I have recommended it to quite a few friends, some of whom have already started to recommended it to their friends. All of us agree, a superb book.

However, most of us were very annoyed by the typographical errors. Bad comma use got to me, and at least twice quotation marks were used when no one was speaking. Hope the author keeps writing, it was completely worth it.

Great book, flawed only by a few errors

Good:
This book has an amazingly solid plot, written by someone who ascribes regular human emotion and behavior to his characters. Every character in the book is relatable, gives the reader much more to care about in the story.

Larry has the technical stuff down pat. He should-- the guy owns a machine gun shop, and is probably the most knowledgeable guy in Utah on what he does.

The bad:
Lots of syntactical and grammatical errors. I know this was guerilla published, but a lot of syntactical errors should not have made it through. There were two errors that cropped up quite frequently:
1) Misplaced commas; and
2) Usage of "their" as a gender-neuter possessive. A sample would be: "If a person does this action, then their right to drive is revoked." A 'person' is singular, 'their' is for plural.

I'm not one to let bad grammar get in the way of a good story though. I'll buy the sequel when it comes out, and I'll recommend this book as well.

I recommend starting to read this book on a Friday - or some day when you don't have to do anything the next day. That way, when you can't put it down and have to stay up all night to finish it, you'll be able to sleep in...

Fast Moving Yarn

I recently read Monster Hunter International by Larry Corriea. I have to tell you I waffled on buying this book. I mean I had this fear of Night of the Living Dead, Zombie Apocolypse stuff that was poorly written and didn't fit into anything that interested me. But, I read some of the reviews and I picked up on Larry's website and I thought I would take a shot at it. So, I duly brought up my Amazon account, and ordered the book. At the same time, I was ordering a bunch of other stuff so I thought of it as kind of a impulse buy.

Best impulse buy that I ever made. The book is a page turner, and one I had a hard time putting down. There is little or no, slow spots in the read. From the first few pages this thing moves the plot along quickly and efficiently, introducing characters as necessary and providing just the right level of detail to set the visuals of the situation.

Is the plot predictable? Maybe at times but for the most part it twists and turns, and just when you think it is going to go straight on for a bit, it pulls a wild left turn and zig zags all over the place.

Larry pulls in aspects of many different historical cultures and weaves them almost seamlessly into the story telling . Sorry Larry, there were a couple of abrupt points so you don't get the full seamless comment. However, I think that they abruptness may have been appropriate to the scene on occasion.

I wish I could write a story that is half as entertaining, and half as well written.

This is a damn fine book that you need to go out and read.

Pure Entertainment

This is a fun, fast paced read that is very hard to put down. I enjoyed all the charactors and the references to "real life" movies, people, and events. There is enough weapon info to keep the gun people happy, but not so much that those of us who don't care about the differences get bored or frusterated. The ending was predictable, but not exactly. There were still a few surprises. Thoroughly enjoyable with lots of monsters-this would make a great action movie.

Monsters are real. And some people kill them for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business, and Owen Zastava Pitt -- CPA, average guy, and survivor of a brutal supernatural attack -- is the companys newest employee. When MHI takes on a new contract, Owen and the girl of his dreams unwittingly find themselves in the path of an ancient evil. A creature known as the Cursed One has returned to fulfill a centuries old vendetta. And when he does, its the end of the world. And that would be bad for business.
