Review-The Short and Sweet Version for HollandBerry
HollandBerry (Holland-Saga Book 1) - Hazel Cartwright

I have thrown up (ha!) a brief review of this piece of carp on GR. I will be writing a much longer review with ss later but you might enjoy this. Linda dared me.

Not Really a Review of Not a Book At All
YESHUA, MY PRINCE CHARMING - Audrey Brown
Yeshua, My Prince Charming: Audrey's story - Ms. A B

This is Audrey's life story and while I do not wish to seem dismissive of her life I just wish people would stop sharing their lives. Reading only the excerpt her childhood was miserable which might be part of the reason that her writing is so bad.

 

Grammar, punctuation, spelling, I have read worse but that is not a ringing endorsement. I found this not-a-book because Audrey spammed it in the  KDP. That's right, looks like Audrey's ability to read is on par with her ability to write.

 

 

 

 

Did you notice the price? Now did you notice the number of pages?  75 for the ebook and 86 for the print.  Did you notice the price? Yes, I repeated it, it bears repeating.  And 75 or 86 pages does not a book make.

 

Am I the only one to notice her name has a typo? (print copy only)

 

Then there is the LARGE, BOLD, COMPLETELY CAPITALIZED dedication and author's note in both with the addition of bad formatting in the ebook.

 

 

Audrey, and others like her, might have a story to tell but they lack the necessary skills to tell it. Unfortunately it does not stop them from trying to make money from it and I really, really dislike someone trying to take the money I make from a job well done for a job not done at all.

Not Really a Review of Something not Ready to be a Book
In the lives of :-: Claire and Adam (In the lives of:-) - D Cannon

First you have the title, In the lives of :-: Claire and Adam (In the lives of:-),  that suffers from a little too much unnecessary punctuation. The you have this:

 

 Which suffers from random capitalization, incorrect word usage, lack of the common comma, and no period at the end. Yes, yes, I know what you are thinking butyou can't stop now and why can't you stop now? I have a cold and you must suffer.

 

Now read this:

 

 

 

Most of that is one long, rambling, run on, ill-conceived sentence.  It is only my great love for you all that is sparing you the opening scene of this, um, story, wherein the heroine, Claire, takes a bath and the reader desperately wants to take a shower using very hot water, Casteel soap, a scrub brush, and five gallons of brain bleach.

 

He refers to Claire's vagina as her "love door".

 

I feel like my intelligence has been molested.

Three more gems of literary brilliance from Suicide Ride:  The Platinum Man:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Perhaps I should mention that our hero, Johnny Gellis, has run away from home and his career as a OB/GYN in his daddy's practice. hence all the tiresome gyno adjective laden comparisons.

"Crestfallen, they watched him walk away with his already dog-eared copy of Variety rolled in his fist and his head hung down ... lost in some ineffable funk they could not -- at their unripe ages, from this paradisiacal remove -- even begin to sound. " Suicide Ride:  The Platinum Man

 

Is it just me or is this a very bad sentence?
