Has anyone else read the series by this author? I have just finished Agent 6, and while I enjoyed the book very much, I was constantly irritated by the dreadful punctuation. Is there a future for me as a proof-reader? Small joke, as I spent 20 years proof-reading post-graduate theses.

there might be; publishers need proof-readers (as you've just noticed). Even I got a proof-reading job a couple of weeks ago.

Haven't read the books, though.

Interesting, jno.
I have no idea how I would go about applying. If you don't mind, could you advise?
The 'hero' in this series, Leo Demisov, is a loyal member of the MGB. The first, Child 44, is both fascinating and disturbing. It is set towards the end of Stalin's 'Reign of terror'.
Hi annemollie. Please could you give us an example of the book's dreadful punctuation. Thanks
Question Author
factor,
I can do this next week, as I have left the book at my son's home. A lot of the poor punctuation relates to dangling participles (see my earlier post on this topic) and the inappropriate use of commas. I can't read a published work without going into pedant mode!
