I think would should have a "worst-written single line" contest in here. I'll submit this as a contender:The Illusive Man’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a tone.
“I’m sorry,” Kahlee replied, by which she meant she was sorry about the choices Gillian had made, the people she had killed, and the fact that she was dying.

Well this has to be a joke right? Capt. Obvious to the Rescue -like?
Who am I kidding I already know the answer....
It's been impossible to tell for days... It's sad.

I am thinking (hoping) Casey just has his hands completely full with ME 3 a month out. Probably didn't get a chance to actually read it...
This is what I believe. He doesn't really tweet much during crunch. I figure someone just used his account to promo the book. The alternative is that he read and approved of it, which seems impossible.

I would still go with :“I’m sorry,” Kahlee replied, by which she meant she was sorry about the choices Gillian had made, the people she had killed, and the fact that she was dying.
Still cracks me up

That Kahlee line can only be properly read in an incredibly serious tone of voice.

Yet? Please let that be a joke.
As much as I love Bioware and their games, they're the ones who should take the blame for this massive failure. THEY are the ones who green lighted this novel, and decided to make it available for purchase. The Dietz guy was hired to write a ME novel, he failed miserably, but posting **** on his twitter and facebook isn't going to change anything. I think they guy realizes by now that he screwed up, but Bioware should have caught the majority of these mistakes in the first place. Give the man a break.
While I agree with most of this, I also have no trouble recognizing that aside from all the issues that Mass Effect fans have, this is a terribly written book. No effort went into it. Unless it's intentionally written at a 6th grade level, in which case it's insulting to it's intended audience. Either way, no one should feel bad about criticising it. If this is a representative of his work, he doesn't deserve a career.
Now that may sound harsh, but the market should be a meritocracy. If someone can't write a better book then this, then they shouldn't be a proffesional writer. And big copmanies like EA certainly shouldn't be paying him as though he were one.

Oh crap after some quick research I actually think that it's Grayson that shot Nick. However Kai Leng was present and still tricked Nick into attacking Grayson. So the issue still remains in Deception.

Where's the one where Kahlee seduces Anderson by talking about "dessert?"
It was on here at some point.
Kahlee smiled as they strolled out into the artificial sunlight. “A naughty admiral. I like it. Come on,” she said. “I’m in the mood for an asari stir-fry tonight.”
He grinned. “And for dessert?”
“That,” Kahlee said, “is for me to know and for you to find out.”

And you should still complain to BioWare instead of giving them slack because "they are busy making ME3 great". The book shouldn't have gone public on this state. There's no excuse.izmirtheastarach wrote...

Someone should ask Mr. Dietz how he likes the general reception to his book.

Has this Tweet by Casey Hudson been brought up? Deception related don't worry. https://twitter.com/...362747836604417 It seems to me that the red flags on this novel should have gone up before it was released to the public.
Its come up quite a few times through this near 400 page thread. What pisses me off about this tweet is, not only has Casey completed a final review of Deception and approved it. But it was tweeted on the 11th of August 5 an a half months ago. 5 months and no one at Bioware noticed any of these lore errors before release.
