Ratings and reviews

I like to write on Facebook however years of bad grammar has made me ignorant of good English. I read this book to help me to be a better writer. A good book to have and since I have Google play on all my devices this book goes where I go. Well done.

Just started reading this and in what's essentially the foreward of the book while explaining how and where this book will help gou there's a bit of a typo. Just wanted to point that out as this could be fixed easily since this is a digital copy.
