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.

My God, that sounds horrid.

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.

Heh. Be interesting to hear what he has to say when he reads the review! AKA "be careful what you ask for..."

Presumably not a repeat of the "I just read the review! Squee!" emails that have been passed to me previously.

Er, that was me. Setting up the reading journal for [livejournal.com profile] soniclipstick undid my auto-login. *squinchy face*

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!?

The three I was supposed to write up this weekend review tonight were all pretty decent.

It's obvious you loathed every page of this piece of drek.

Every page? Every paragraph!

The thing I noticed was that the cover art portrays this guy with his head inside a TV set. Obviously he's not very good at "keeping it real" himself!

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