Damnit, NO!!

Did no one proofread this?

Cargo "manifesto"; he pulled his jacket "taught"; the mafia boss liked to "matriculate" with the lowest common denominator. I don't even know what word to use in place of matriculate so it makes sense in the paragraph.

Not to mention how often the sentences are garbled with extra or repeated words.

I demand a certain level of professionalism when I am spending money. The characters were weak and the plot far-fetched, but I liked the universe and was hoping things were going somewhere interesting. Repeated errors that should have been caught by a competent editor or proofreader, or simply reading it yourself before publishing, rose to the level of unacceptable.

The first novel in the universe was better than this. Stop being lazy or cheap.
