 Truly Bad June 12, 2015
I borrowed this for free through the Prime lending library. I've seen some poorly edited books but this is by far the worst. It's obvious from the first page that the author never spell checked his work. Compound words created becausethe author forgotto hit the spacebar are everywhere. Dialog is often not in quotes. Whole paragraphs are but quite often not dialog. Words are randomly capitalized; after commas, in the middle of sentences, common nouns.
The writing itself is. . . bad. I'm honestly at a loss for words trying to describe how to describe just how bad this really is.
A small sample of the narrative:

*He Temple first thing, second thing he thought was "Would began walking towards the front door, trying to seem full of good will and cheer, even though he was a salesman He knocked on the front door. It echoed throughout the Temple and the air in the parking lot, at a great distance.*

That's from the first page and first story. A story about a salesman who approaches a temple of monks to sell said monks life insurance and then, for no discernable reason, asks joins the monk's order but would rather have money. The end. That's the entire story.

The rest of the writing is just as bad. The comics look like the doodles junior high school students make in their notebooks while they're not paying attention in their English class.

In conclusion? This is horrible, some of the worst writing I've seen. If it weren't for the ease with which people can self publish these days the only people who would have been subjected to this authors writing would have been his parents, friends and the occasional unfortunate teacher. Avoid this.Show Less

 Matthews End Times is a disappointing amateurish effort with a non-starter of a story April 15, 2015
I'm reluctant to provide really negative feedback to authors, but this just seems like someone was bored at lunch, quickly drew some stuff and thought, hey, I wonder if I can make this into a book. With the caveat that I don't read a lot of magna and some who are more immersed in that genre may find some redeeming qualities, this just simply looks like lazy work. Not "on-the-edge cool and raw" but just lazy. Now let's get to the story, or lack thereof. There just isn't a story here. The book's main benefits are no additional cost (I grabbed this through Kindle Unlimited) and the actual story is quite brief so you don't lose much time with it.

Also, I'm not sure why the author includes "The Anthology" in the title but this isn't an anthology.Show Less
