Query: I've read worse

I've certainly read worse stories, but the sheer amount of typos and grammatical mistakes and misuse of words alone turned me off to this book. I was barely a chapter in before I had a pencil in hand and was becoming more and more preoccupied with the mistakes than the plot. Shouldn't an editor have caught these? That alone was painful, and not to mention the dialogue and the awkward sentences themselves. I had hoped that this child "prodigy" book would actually be good, not a book that sounded like something I had written when I was fifteen.
