I definitely understand. It's something for someone who's ready for a different kind of challenge. Thank you for sharing your candid thoughts and kind words, too.

The author did something I could only dream of at this point, though. Thank you for sharing your wise thoughts and kind words as well.

I definitely agree. The challenge may not be what everyone would be more likely to expect, indeed. I understand. Thank you as well for sharing your insights and kind words.

It's something for someone who's ready for a unique reading challenge. One thing I liked about the piece was the main character's admirable resilience despite his human tribulations. Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts and kind words, too.

I don’t think I would have made it through this one. Props to you for pulling through and reviewing it. It’s a shame that the interesting premise was ruined by the errors. I hope the author finds a good editor to help him out. Thanks for the review!

I admire the patience you had with this book. Your balanced review saves the reader's time, and at the same time, reminded me of the efforts made by the author to bring his work into our shelves, no matter the score. In my short time here, I did cross with an almost indescribable book (due to grammatical, structural errors, etc.) and I found it very challenging to write the review. In this very moment, I don't think I will find the strength to re-experience such a situation, even if its for reading only. At least, not when I'm notified about it. Felicitations for your elegant review and thank you for your sincerity!

Well done on completing the book and writing such an honest review! It's a shame there were so many errors and issues with it. Hopefully, the author can use this constructive criticism to edit their book and continue making improvements. That is one of the greatest benefits of these reviews after all.

Having a protagonist who is a trash collector is quite intriguing, but the problem with editing makes this book undesirable for me. So, I won't be reading it. But, thanks for your honest review.

It seems like a worthy story to be told despite the myriad errors throughout the book. You were very positive and more than kind in your review. Thanks!

I found myself in a similar position a while ago,where I took up a book judged by the book blurb and was thoroughly disappointed later. I love how you discovered some positive aspects among all these. Thanks for the candid review!

Hahaha! I hope it'll assuage you enough to know that you really won't be the only one to ever think that. However, there are those who could really up for a unique challenge. I certainly was and, still, am one with you in your hope. Thank you for sharing your insights and kind words, too!

I admire your empathy, flair for balance, and sense of fairness among all else. I've had and hurdled a number of other life challenges in the past, too, with most ones others wouldn't even have dared think about. Yet I've used your very same words to express my qualms about going through them again as well. Both the author and the protagonist had their share from life's pile, and I respect them for their ability to achieve things albeit in their own respective unique ways. Thank you for your profound insights and humbling kind words!

There were much to glean from the author, the protagonist, and the book as a whole. I've learned and gained from it more than what I would have been normally expected to, too. You're quite spot on! Thank you for sharing your wise insights and kind words.
