I am not a fan of horror in the first place, and I dislike pointless stories as well, so I suppose I'll skip this one because it possesses nothing that I would read.

Thank you for the review!

Bad luck this time that the Yellow bread characters couldn't fly over readers mind. Best of luck for the next.

It's a shame that what sounds like an interesting premise did not get developed well enough. The review is certainly very constructive and informative, thank you!

I like books that serve as social commentary. It's a pity this one wasn't executed differently. I like the idea though. Thanks for the honest review.

The horror theme sounds interested on video play but all in all the story could come out well without the errors. Great review though.

This doesn’t seem to be my type of book, but it is a shame that the story and characters weren’t developed better. It sounds like it has a lot of potential.

The facts that the characters were unrealistic, and that the yellow beard is more of a gruesome ghost story, it seems like stories that children or adults who want to escape reality should read. The the grammatical errors and poor punctuation marks show a lack of effective communication; such errors should be worked upon.

The book sounds quite interesting. The Yellow Beard sounds like a character I would love to meet in the book. Nevertheless, the grammatical errors mentioned are too glaring to be ignored. Thanks for the wonderful review.

I love supernatural stories so it’s unfortunate that the book requires professional editing. I also dislike “heavy handed” monologues. It makes it difficult to take the stories seriously. Great review!

I don't think I'm interested in a bunch of gory ghost stories. And with all the other errors mentioned, I think I'll pass on this one as well.

I am huge fan of ghost and horror stories. However, due to the fact that you mention way too many grammatical and proofreading errors, I am going to give a hard pass to this book. Especially if it seems to be necessary to re-read certain parts just to understand the story. Thanks for the review!

Yellow Beard & The Curse Of The Bloodline by Lawrence V Webster seems like an amazing book. I do love short stories but unfortunately I will have to skip this. However, I will recommend it. Congratulations to the author on the BOTD. Great review.
Books are beautiful.

The book seems interesting despite the poor organization of stories. Few books really appreciate the after_Life. I hope the author will check out this review it is a tool for improvement.

At the start of your review, you really got me thinking about how this book is gonna be entertaining. However, when you started highlighting the wrongs in the book, I got disappointed. I just hope the author works on some of the errors to make the book better. Congratulations on BOTD.
