got A CREATIVE KIND OF KILLER in ebook form that was free.The plot of the book was very interesting, it's about a girl that was killed ,and Fortune Fanelli a former detective,and the main character had to figure out who had killed this girl,and why?For me there were entirely to many typos, and a few spelling errors in the story line.Like the number 1 in place of the the letter I.Also another thing Fortune who was a little bit unsure of him self at times( would use the word maybe) as though what he was thinking or saying wasn't factual. Also what got me was Fortune was being(to me) a little bit to descriptive about certain things.For example: the person who he meet or came into contact with, he would describe what they were wearing in which it took(I think) away from the main purpose of ther story.As I was read on in the book Fortune would every now ,and then reminisce on certain things,or place,and people as if we(the reader) would know who, what,and where he was talking about. It was an OK read.

One, if not my most favorite book. The first time I read this it was in 8th grade, I haven't been able to stop rereading it since! Extremely well written and keeps you on the edge with each turn of the page.
