The book's title and cover art convinced me to read the book even though the genre of a post-apocalyptic future is not my favorite. I liked the premise of the storyline and the strong female lead character the most. As mentioned by others, the lack of editing was glaring, and I disliked having to plow through the many errors. To be honest, I tried to read the entire book, but in the end, I gave up and didn't finish this book. It didn't hold my interest. I rated this book 2 out of 4 stars.

Though I found errors in the book, it wouldn't take away the fact that the book was well plotted and fascinating. I will rate the book 4 star.

WatchDogs Abnormal Beginnings is a science fiction set in the future highlighting the problems arising due to technological advancements beyond expectations. The plot seems intriguing but the book is full of errors and profanity which I can not stand. I rate this book 1 out of 4 stars as the book needs serious editing and the language of the book needs to be pleasantry enough for the reader to carry on. The title seems too scary and may deter a lot of readers giving the assumption of a horror story.

The only issue I had with the book was the lack of professional editing. Everything else was good. I loved the story and writing style.

The narration doesn't seem forced, the story flows quite naturally, and it's a really simple book to read. But I was really bothered by the editing mistakes. It's extremely difficult to follow the plot when there are so many errors, so I might have given it a 3 out of 4 star rating if it weren't for those. However, in general, I believe the plot is intriguing, appears to be very promising, and is appropriate for teenagers.

I really enjoyed the plot of the book. However, because of the large number of grammatical errors and sloppy writing style it was hard to read. I found myself confused which character was talking at certain times throughout the book.

The storyline of this book is captivating and suspenseful. I particularly love the cover of the book. However, I think the book needs editing as there are a lot of errors and misspellings.

The fact that the book is set and dwells a lot on the post apocalyptic era makes it really dynamic and one that I appreciate. However, the excessive use of profanity is one that cannot be ignored which makes it really annoying.

Having to second guess which character was speaking made this book a nightmare for me to read. A general proofreading would have eliminated many of the errors. The cover and title are what enticed me to read this book.
I just started reading the book, and your insight is valuable, but I will still finish reading it to see what I think about myself.

The only thing I liked about this book is the cover and the story line... It's characters weren't Soo intriguing, it had a number of errors, and lots of profane words were in it and this wasn't necessary.

According to author Mike L. Junior in his novel Watchdogs: Abnormal Beginning, the future is unpredictable, and that uncertainty can have devastating consequences. The inaccuracies in the book are enough to diminish the enjoyment one expects to get out of it. The title of the book is reflected in the book's cover, which is both enticing and a little unnerving to me. I rate it at 3 out of 4.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.

I think the book is generally a good read. The plot is fascinating and the character development is on point. However, I didn't like the presence of errors in it, it's rather distracting.
