Since I'm not allowed to comment on your blog without an account, I'll comment here:
You have to be extremely careful what you accept from Bostick. A great deal of the time (95%) the books are self-published and many of those suffer from exactly the issues you describe: no clear audience, not well written, not properly marketed, etc. From your description I can only assume you got a self-published book. There are good self-pub books out there but they are many more that are like what you got.
I have gotten a couple of good ones from them. Keep checking out the emails and you will find something you like. You just have to be more discriminatory when accepting the book I think.

Yes, I have received a couple of books from them that I never did finish. Like most everyone here I am becoming very discriminating when replying to one of their e-mails. So far only one book met my standards. It has been awhile since I have answered one of their e-mails.
I've only received a few books from them but I've liked all of them thankfully. I don't accept every book they offer me. I only take the ones that I think will be a good fit for my site or that I'll really enjoy. So far so good.
