Short version: it was a good book, although I was rather put off by some of the more adolescent details of the writing, but like I said, 7-10 years ago those details would have seemed much more relevant and important to me. Conversation, emails, and text messages are another story entirely.Īlright, enough of the rant, on to the review. But a novel should never be published - ever - with anything less than perfection. And I'm not even one of those who is snobby about spelling and grammar. The first novel in the Sookie Stackhouse series was riddled with typos luckily, the story was exciting and alluring and otherwise well-written. Such as, whether or not to release a book because it's got a few typos. ![]() ![]() I found some typos in the copy I read which irks me to no end I remember a time when books would not even get published if they were anything less than grammatically perfect, but I guess that's what happens when you let the uneducated masses out into the world employed as adults in jobs that come with big decision-making.

When he came to power, there were more than 100 vacant seats in federal courts after Republicans basically blocked anyone proposed by President Obama in his last years in office. Trump has touted the way he has been able to fill judicial vacancies with staunch conservatives as one of the victories of his administration. Talley’s nomination now has to go to the full Senate, which is also expected to approve his appointment on a party-line vote despite objections from civil rights groups. Four of Trump’s judicial nominees have received the rating that the ABA had not doled out since 2006.
