Ok I ordered Lukes book (first time Ive read his work), the book came bound similar to that of a hard cover diary.

I began to read the book and the content is good had it not been for one major flaw that blantantly stares you in the face and yells "PROOOOOF READDINGGG"

Not just regular grammar issues but words that dont make sense in the context that you literally have to do some mind reading to unerstand what the word was supposed to he!!! (dee how i did that )Yes that is an example of the kind of printed word erros throughout the book (yep I did again to make my point).

Now once I over looked the printing and mild grammar errors im stuck with trying to understand OCCASIONALLY what Luke was trying to convey in the paragraphs (this happens sometimes). Luke has written a 'Essay" style book that is written more like he speaks than in true writting style. This as previous reviewers have noted makes it sometimes a little frustrating to follow (I hope you follow).

Apart from that there is some real meat in the book that can be utilised in any magicians repitoire.

I personally would have been happier if it was a download ebook at a cheaper price but reading a book that has not been proof read is disapointing.

P.S. No I didnt run this through spell checker and your not paying for my review so dont expect my grammar is perfect.

True. I didn't pay for your review, but it would hold a lot more water if you had used spell check or grammar check before posting. How does the saying go..... that's the pot calling the kettle black.

jbcassady, way to miss the whole point.

I personally agree. If it was a 4.95 download you could overlook this (though I'd still be upset since I do write myself). For $50.00 per person the work should be polished and as close to perfect as possible.
