What's the weirdest typo/error you've seen in a book?
(lemmy.world)
I’m currently reading “The Number of the Beast” by Robert Heinlein. Book is from the 1980s, and there’s a completely doubled up paragraph in the book! It spans two pages but the image shows enough I think.
"Number of the Beast" is not one of his good ones.
I enjoyed it as a teen when I read it. I can see how it's not the best writing, the characters are very static and shallow, but I loved some of the basic ideas. I did think it got a bit weird at the end merging fantasy with everything else.
Its been a LONG time for me, but doesn't it get weird incestous and pedo at the end?
The incest is heavy at then start, and the pedo has kinda maybe been there in his previous writing? He seems to like the “smaller” and more “meek” women in his stories, but I’ve only read a few so far.
Basically it’s a father daughter and two other people who almost had a thing, and they don’t care about flaunting stuff around.
And Deety has stated she wouldn’t have turned her Pop down.
