I have found the weakpoint.

The weak point of this book: the editing. In about a 20 page span, I have found several small mistakes that should have been caught by an editor. Call me a prick, but this is probably one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to reading. Editors get paid quite a bit, and the job at a publishing firm is competitive, so when I see that many small mistakes it makes me not want to continue reading the book. Petty, I know, but that's just how I feel. Editing aside, the book is still as funny and interesting as it was at the start.

    The book is written in the style of someone who is talking or writing in a personal journal. I think that in order to maintain this style, the editor might have left the small mistakes in.

    I think I don't care. It's unprofessional and makes the work sloppy and it's aggravating to read.
