Summary: Very unhappy reader.
Review: I bought this book, all excited by the title and the misleading photo, I thought it would be about the three little girls we refer to as Babes in the Woods where I grew up. Well, the setting was correct, the place and location very accurate, but aside from the story being totally unbelievable the book was too confusing and poorly edited.
Whoever published this book must not have editors working for them and if they do, they should fire them. The spelling, capitalization and puncuation mistakes are horrible! I found at least a dozen in each chapter! But that is not the worst, I can survive grammar mistakes with a good book. Unfortunately, this is a dialogue only book. There is no he said.., she said... or even "and he turned to look at her as he said...". There are no filler words between dialogue at all. Strickly talking back and forth! Half the time you have no idea who is talking or exactly how they feel, the scenes change without a break in dialogue creating total confusion especially when the scene is two dialogue sentences and you can get absolutely no feeling for the characters! I could not totally understand any of the characters, one chapter they would say one thing and the next it would be like a totally different personality for that character.
Perhaps if the writer would have had a good editor to tell him about these problems he could have saved the story. Although it was very farfetched and too unbelievable for me, it still could have been saved.
I honestly don't recommend spending as much money as they want for this book, especially when you can get much better ones at cheaper prices.
