I got to chapter 4 before I decided to quit.



Here are some examples of horrible writing:



"A company called Biosurface Technology....." I don't know what college the author graduated from but I think he could have simply wrote, "Biosurface Technology" and continued with his sentence.



"In the case of totipotent or pluripotent stem cells, there is only one place they can be found....." Couldn't the author have simply wrote "Totipotent or pluripotent stem cells can be found in only one place....."



"The fertilized egg, which is a single cell called a zygote, begins dividing into multiple cell with the elegant precision of a cine swiss clock". "Which is called a zygote" can be eliminated and zygote can be placed in parenthesis after "fertilized egg." Do swiss clocks divide? But they are precise? How do cells divide imprecisely? By what standard?



This author writes like a child at times; the sentence construction is bad, phrases are ridiculous, and metaphors are ineffective. I think this guy writes for the sake of vanity; he wants to appear intelligent but seems more ignorant. The science is good but the writing is an impediment. The editors must not have been well. There are many other errors in the book as there are in modern writing such as the use of "comprise" and then the use of "make up", and within the same paragraph.



Effective writing requires exactness and consistency.
