Very good story, mediocre ePub
4
By Just Bob
There are two important parts to every scanned ePub: the story, and the formatting.
In this case, the ePub is made from scanning a book. The spelling appears to be correct, but there are many other errors.
Many, many paragraphs are run together, some capitalization is missing, some sentences are missing spaces between them. I think you are getting the idea. Someone should have proof-read the ePub, carefully comparing the electronic version to the printed version. But, the book is free—how much can I complain?
As to the story, it is a pleasant tell, witty and entertaining. It follows the meandering travels of the "reverenced" Mr. Pickwick, founder of The Pickwick Club, whose well-to-do members travel through England seeking pleasant adventures.
I believe the stories were originally published as monthly installments in a magazine: that format was probably best for this story which meanders much and crescendoes little.
I would have given the book 5 stars had it not been for all the formatting errors in this ePub edition. Someone should have proofed the to work.
