I know
the Truth when I see it.
[EDIT] Ok, there are bad books, and there are
bad books. But it takes some kind of extra-special-sooperbad book to tell you not to
mock the phallus. Can we mock the book instead?
Apparently not:
Publicly mocking an author whom you have never met, based on word of mouth about one chapter of a book you haven’t actually read is ridiculously childish behaviour, and totally disrespectful of a fellow writer.
If you read the little bit in that first link, I think you'll agree: "And in most cases, there wasn’t any actual mocking invovled — reading the text was enough to send everyone into fits of laughter, all without any commentary."
Quite, quite true - no commentary is necessary, that
really speaks for itself, painfully.
Amazon, however, has a suprisingly good rating for it, although it's based off of only one review. Anyone feeling brave enough to read it? ^_^;;
[EDIT2] Oh my god, I CAN NOT STOP LAUGHING! The mental images start with a roster dressed up like Spidey's nemesis, and go rapidly down hill from there. I'm randomly busting out in fits of snicker so hard my eyes are watering.
Venom cock!?![EDIT3] Oh dear, it appears that this is not an isolated incident of spectacularly bad writing.
She did what with that carrot? Again, no commentary is necessary. Just...wow.
