Picked up Tom Clancy's TotT last week from the workplace library*. Started okay, but mostly it sucked. The ending was very bad. It needed another five chapters to really finish the story but I'm sure the next book will cover that.

If I had friends who repeated the same things that much during conversations (Git-R-Done) I'd punch them.

I saw one blatant error, where a city name one one page was different on another. Five word usage errors, they passed the spellcheck but used the wrong word. Ex: list instead of lust. (Now that I think about it, it may have been intentional but there were others that were wrong.) And a few diversions that just could not be true. Not plot points, but chapter filler situations that the author obviously knew nothing about.

----------------------

Near the end of Chasm City there were two word errors that stood out. I know I questioned one in Kiln People and the list thought the words were okay. Just wondering how many errors get into finished books.

*It's in a section's food cubicle. The books are all mysteries and thrillers. I asked why no sci-fi? The section leader nearly jumped down my throat. This Clancy book was the first I've ever borrowed, working there two years now. When I returned it I saw a Harry Turtledove which I grabbed and a Dilbert book, next.

I could leave some sci-fi to see what happens, but I hate the thought of losing something.
