recommended for: absolutely no one unless I hated them

This is quite possibly the WORST book I've ever read. I could NOT put it down. It was like watching a train/biccycle wreck. You know it's going to be really bad but one's mind can't comprehend quite how low the writing (in this case) can go. It managed to go farther than I ever imagined.

Nophoto-u-25x33 You know how you are supposed to show not tell when you are writing? Every single sentence was a tell not a show. Consistantly. It was excruciatingly painful because it never got any better by the end of the book. I think I just wanted to read the whole thing so I could complain about it.
*groans and clutches sore belly from the memory of reading this book*
I think all of his friends went to Amazon and made nice comments. But they LIED!!!

Damn, that was an unattractive noise. Then again, sounds like the book deserves(d?) it. Thanks for suffering on our behalf, darlin' :-).

Nophoto-u-25x33 Well - it had to be done. This craptasticness MUST be shared. The book will be sent to theamusedone very soon. Then he can pass the suffering onto his FL. I like to spread the pain!

637855 That's not mean? *eyes you speculatively*

TAM = theamusedone. I always do that, even though it's wrong - he should, of course, be TAO.

Nophoto-u-25x33 Bring 'em on! With this book - I know I am right. But I am sorry that happened to you.
*makes scary glaring face at your nemesisii (sp?)*
Want me to have theamusedone pass it on to you when he's done being tortured by it? I am sending it to him TODAY! Only because I enjoy bothering my friends! *g*

637855 You people scare me. EATING books. What are you THINKING? One eats MAGAZINES, not books!

"Nemesisii" = awesome.

637855 Ah. See, that was your mistake, right there. If you must eat a book, you gotta lick the picture plates. That's where the tasty stuff is.

Nophoto-u-25x33 Yes. Hello? Scratch and sniff has flavors. Let's see - they come in Rayk/Ben or Hugh/Callum or some such flavors. mmm - flavored stories.
