Hey Dude, Are you kidding me? It's their fault. All manuscripts are read and re read many times by all the authors and editors while it's being written. Then the publisher creates a galley copy for further review and dissemination. They were the authors and it was THEIR responsibility. Don't blame the editors.There are things like Spell check and grammar check now available on all computers. If you want to call yourself an author then take pride in your work and don't wait for the editors to look for the obvious mistakes. Also, Burnstein and the other guy didn't convince Leonetti to tell his story. Leonetti decided that on his own and somehow they were connected. Which was such a big mistake for Leonetti! Such a great story told and ruined by these two amateurs! You are responsible for what YOU write. Relying on the editors to edit this amazing story that could have landed you on the New York Times Bestseller list shows you either don't care or a clueless. There has to be over 100 mistakes throughout that book. What a shame that what could have been the next "Underboss" became nothing more than a High School book report!
Scott has admitted that he is upset with typos and errors that have occurred in ALL of his books. Scott DID approach Leonetti. He recently approached Frank Salemme-was turned down. Check your facts before you slam others. You are certainly entitled to not like or appreciate Scott's work. I am entitled to like and appreciate his work-which I do. No doubt he is the foremost expert on the Detroit mob today. I am not sure where your vitriolic assessment of Scott's work emanates from, I am sure you have a narrow view. I will be sure to skip over your posts in the future. ADIOS.
