"I kind of thought that I would be even more overwhelmed and stressed"

Yesterday, I shared how Will Dove of the Iron Will Report found that my novel Much Ado About Corona created understanding and sympathy towards those who bought into the COVID con. Echoing his sentiments is this 5-star review on Amazon Canada, left by Anthony:

"I guess any fiction book can give us an escape from the stress of real life, but reading Much Ado About Corona was reading about the very things that most of us have been overwhelmed with, so I kind of thought that I would be even more overwhelmed and stressed. Surprisingly to me, therefore, reading it brought me to a welcome state of escape while at the same time brought me understanding of how and why others see the dystopia we are living through differently...

"It's always helpful to grow in understanding of others, and I think it might even be essential if we are going to try to reconcile family members, friends and neighbours, and work and business relationships going forward. I don't know if the author wrote it with those goals in mind, but I think that it might prove to be this book's legacy."

That was certainly a big goal I had with Much Ado About Corona. It feels good to hear others confirm that I may have achieved it.
