Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The content of this book is great. Sydnee and Justin's contrasting takes on Kellogg was one of the funniest things I've ever read, and Teylor's art is wonderful. But I had bought this book to give to my brother, a doctor, as a Christmas gift, and I just can't do it - not because the book is so good and I want to keep it for myself (my original fear), but because it is so obviously unfinished that it feels insulting. To call the writing a "rough draft" is generous. Almost every page contains misspellings, grammatical errors, duplicate words, page placeholders, and other mistakes. The editor and publisher dropped the ball so badly that I felt a sense of dread with each page I read, waiting for the next example of how little attention was given to cleaning up and editing the writing. There wasn't a need for the different parts, either - the stories often didn't seem to fit well in the categories they were assigned to. Finally, and most atrocious of all, there are eight pages at the end that are simply missing - the publisher just GLUED TOGETHER the backs of pages 205 to 212. If these were any other content creators besides the McElroys, there is no way this book would have such a high rating. I understand that folks are enthusiastic to support them - I am too - but such a high rating is extremely dishonest because the construction and editing of the book is so unforgivably flawed. I can't believe someone actually made the decision to ship out the books in this state. It feels like they're taking advantage of the fans' willingness to forgive the creators, and that is bad business. To Weldon Owen, the publisher: You ought to be ashamed. I am going to ask for my money back. To the McElroys: Hold your publisher accountable. You KNOW that the fans would have forgiven a delay if it meant receiving a completed and polished product. I hope the next printing is better.
