Ratings and reviews

I like the book but I have a gripe with google; so I am going to take it out on grammer girl. I bought this book on google play first time, freaking already hate google play, and hate how google traps you with this crap. I payed for the book, I want to read it, don't freakin corner me and make it miserable, just let me download the book. When I figure out how, it is crappy EPUB with 40px fonts. I hate this and I am beginning to resent google. Very much turning out to be like Microsoft. Don't buy it from Google, buy it some where else.
