I'm forced to set the book down. Damn. Just as the good is getting even better.

All right, hold it. Just when I thought, here's a writer who is really displaying some pretty good chops, I come across this line:
"The ringing in her ears reached a crescendo."
Listen, I am no grammar nazi, but words have meanings. Some words have multiple meanings; others have one precise, unambiguous meaning.
Crescendo is the latter. And a crescendo is not something that is reached. Look it up.
Pet peeve. Sorry.
