Made me LOL, cheers. What saddens me is that this was written by two people. Two people so bad at what they're doing that this is the best they could do? No, that's such a depressing thought, I have no other way to retain my sanity than to believe that these two have some evil plan of world domination as the motivation for producing that... thing. And they give all writing couples a bad name. Fie on you!
Dog bites man is not news. Man bites dog, that is news. Events in the main body of the bell curve aren't all that noteworthy. It's the improbable, the flukes and quirky accidents, that attract the most attention. This is simply a case of man bites alligator, fatally.
I see what you did there I guess there's no difference between what she did than someone self-publishing.
Hey, I found a recommendation for this book under the reviews for the crappy book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1411622987/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk Apparently it's deliberately bad writing written by real authors and published traditionally. The first review I read says it attempts to expose some writing scams and teach writers what not to do. Sounds like it might be a fun read All the reviews I've read so far says it's hilarious and it's got a tonne of 5 stars.
Definitely not, Kat. Not to this reader at least. I confess to being amused, although I suspect that reading more than a couple of pages would rapidly make me lose the will to live. (For me it's a bit like watching Ricky Gervais play David Brent. The cringe factor is oddly compelling, until it isn't. Then it starts getting really irritating.)
That is pretty hilarious Lots of moaning, which seems to be something you get a lot in romance novels...
Oh my goodness. Easily the worst, infantile, turgid guff I've ever had the displeasure of reading. Terrible on so many levels. I could add more scathing criticisms to what has been posted but really fail to see the merit in it. This appalling 'literature' is available in the marketplace and I believe, is demonstrative of why self-publishing can be counter productive in terms of the betterment of fiction in particular and literature generally.
According to my browser, after viewing this book on Amazon, most people purchased Nicholas Cage pillow covers. Coincidence? I think not.
Funny you should say that. The other side of this perplexing issue had been concerning me more: which books do the people who purchase Nicholas Cage pillow covers tend recently to have bought?
WOW! It was so bad I laughed bawling incredulously after the second sentence. I got to halfway into the second page and just couldn't read anymore. I am now more determined than ever to finish editing my novel and getting it published ... and it won't be CRAP! I think I wrote like that in the sixth grade but way better sentence structure. Holy cow! Nuff Said.
I would love to quote this for my other writing groups. Have you posted this on NaNo? I think it would encourage A LOT of newbie writers to keep up the good work and produce better books/stories. If not, can I? You're sarcastic reveiew makes it sooo worth while.
If they do have such a condition, which I seriously doubt, being as the primary author is apparently a nurse of over fifteen years, it still doesn't make me want to buy the novel. The X factor and the inherent sob stories it produces, this is not. Prose should be judged and/or accepted on it's literary merits, no more, no less. Happy New Year btw.
I'm still trying decide whether my favourite part is 'King Aurthorr' or 'Head Centaur of the Unicorns'. The first is just ridiculously funny, and second I can't get my head around. Seriously though, thanks for the warm, happy feeling this brought me about my own writing.
Oh, I see. So was the 'Aurthorr' simply a typo? EDIT: Having looked, I can't see what you're getting at
