Nonfiction Book Review for ‘Resilience in Curls by Natalie Keshing

12/29/2015

About this Book: This is an autobiography of the author’s life and “willpower and resilience to rise above issues of alcoholism, neglect, and abuse.”

MY REVIEW: 1 star.  I couldn’t even read the book due to the numerous grammatical and sentence structure errors.  From the front and back cover, I could tell immediately that it was a self-published and unedited book.  It does say within the cover that it is a proof, and I know proofs have errors sometimes, but not this many. I read the ‘About the Author’ which had so many grammatical errors in it that I got frustrated and didn’t want to read the book.  I flipped through the book and wanted to get into the story, but was too distracted by the errors to be able to read it.  I was disappointed, because this is the type of book I usually love.  I think it is a great thing for someone to write a book about their life, especially with a story like this to tell. It’s cathartic to the writer, and it helps other people have the courage to tell their story.  I would like to see this again one day after it has been professionally edited and cleaned up.  No matter how good the story is or how good of a writer one thinks they are, remember, even bestselling authors have editors.  A good edit can make or break a book, and this one needs some thorough editing.
