My review forKeep It Real is up on Reviewing the Evidence. See what happens when I have to write a review for a book I tried to quietly pretend hadn't been sent to me.
I LOATHED it by the second paragraph. Skin-crawling loathing. And then the author started badgering the site editor, so she asked me to dig it out of the discard pile and review it anyway... with the cold comfort that I am, at RTE, at least allowed to say exactly what I think of a book.
When you want the narrator dead by the end of the first page, it's a bad sign.
I wish I could send you some brain bleach to get rid of the aftertaste of such an awful book... BLEAAAGCH Do you at least have anything to treat yourself with now? Haggen Dazs or a nice classic Doctor Who on DVD- AT LEAST!?

I'm sure it was a staggeringly accurate picture of his own attitudes and the sort of people he hangs out with.
