Pam of Babylon by Suzanne Jenkins
A new author. A first novel. Self-published. I started reading this book because I saw an advertisement for the trilogy in one of the periodicals I read. I particularly liked the fact that the setting was Long Island, New York. I was disappointed. Let me begin by saying that if you are considering self-publishing a book, please have someone with expertise edit it before publishing. This book contained massive grammatical and syntax errors,as well as typographical errors. It did not flow well and the premise seemed implausible. Dropping in the occasional $10.00 word did nothing for the story. After reading the author's website, it appears she is returning to Pam of Babylon to do some much needed editing. Now that her second and third books in the trilogy have a publisher, we should see some better writing. Perhaps I'll pick up this trilogy again in the future and then again, maybe not--I have too many great books on my side table that are waiting for me. Ladybookbug!
