This is a preliminary review on the free beta version downloaded from a link on the author's blog;https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3Z7...Unfortunately, the author has decided to have paper copies only (no authorised ebook version), so now I'm waiting for my copy to arrive from Lulu for a re-read. I may decide to edit this review after reading the cleaned-up version. The Beta has all the terrible English language issues that the comments complain about. It's definitely a "very good" to "amazing"That's it. I give up. I gather that this book has kind of a cult status on GR, and it's why I started reading it in the first place. The premise is one I could see myself enjoying and I love the beautiful European setting, but my brain hurts from all the malapropisms and syntax problems. Yes, I know English is not the author's first language, and a very valiant effort is made in writing in English, but I think it takes a stronger person than I to make it through the grammatical morass. So, after
WOW. WOW. WOW!!So this book is sensational in every front.The first disclaimer that I want to say is that I was forewarned that the writer was not an English-native speaker so there would be editing issues due to it. And there sure are but damn all if I was going to let that distract me from this brilliant story. Because of this warning, it would have been unfair of me to discount points from the raiting because of it, and even if I discounted 2 or 3 points, it would still end at 11 out of 5. I
One of the greatest books I've read so far. It was more than 600 pages and I already want to read more of Konrad and Guntram. Normally, I prefer stories told in 3rd person but a very selfless and optimistic 1st person is OK too. I don't understand violence btw males and I am definitely not into unequal relationships. However, the one with the upper hand in this relationship was not Konrad. I don't want to consider Guntram a weakling as he deserves some credit. His biggest weakness was his
This book is very different from the usual m/m romance fare. It should be sold with a warning. It is very long, very complex and very, very compelling. Highly recommended that you take a sick day off work so you can finish it without interruptions. And keep a box of tissues handy too.The book covers seven(?) years of a stormy relationship between Guntram, a penniless, French/Argentinian nineteen year old student and Konrad a german billionaire banker and control freak. Set mainly in Europe,
The Substitute left me very confused. Its really hard to rate the book or write a review on it because my mind is full with conflicting thoughts and emotions.It was cliché, over the top, silly at times, but then again: I found myself engaged by the plot and rooting for the main couple eventhough those two were the pinnacle of an unhealthy relationship. My first problem was the English. Mind you: Im not a native English speaker myself, but I had a hard time trying to overlook all the inaccuracies
Got to 12% of this long novel. The grammar was just too bad throughout, couldn't continue.."As I said, you are the most adorable thing that had caught my attention in years. You have to be mine and I have every intention to win you over."
