As you all know, I’m a writer and as such I read a lot. And I do tend to come across some ‘interesting’ books. You know what I do with the ones that absolutely astound me with their nonsense. That’s right. They become a teaching tool.
So this is the thing – I’m reading a book on my Kindle. I mostly read at night which means I’m tired and my eyes are tired. And McWristy is a mega dick. I read on my Kindle at night. I cannot read any of the fab books I have sitting here at night. (I can’t hold them nor will my tired eyes focus on small print – can we just use a decent sized font, please?)

The book I’m trying to read is by a so-called “Best Selling” author. There are over 2k reviews for this book on Amazon and average out to four and half stars.
OVER 2K.
Keep that in mind and while you’re thinking about that – think about all the scammers out there offering to get an author x number of reviews for xx number of dollars.
There is no fucking way that 2000 plus people with active braincells gave this book that many good reviews or any reviews over a 2 star.
The main character is supposedly a business woman. She comes across like an eight year old. A horrid eight year old at that. Nasty. Bigoted. Racist. Just fucking horrible. She also has no clue about ANYTHING. There is no way this character is in her mid to late twenties. There is also no way she runs a fucking company that is doing so well that they have their own jet.
She knows nothing of the world at all. Nothing. She may as well have lived her life under a barrel.
There’s far too much of this idiots thoughts. She actually has tantrums, by the way. Full on screaming and wailing. There is a lot of shouting and crying. And the characters all fist things at least once per page. Yeah, she doesn’t mean what you just thought. LOL.
She meant they scrunched up fabric in their hands.

There are pages and pages of thoughts … I skip a lot of pages, as you can imagine. Everything is covered in diamonds. I think that’s the only stone she knows but even then do five minutes research for fucks sake.
There are the things that ran through my mind before I deleted the book, and no, I will not tell you the name of the author or book. Let’s just say it had a really cool title but in no way did it deliver and it’s book 1 of a trilogy. *Shakes head*

The things I thought about while trying to read absolute bs:
1. The character is shit. Is she actually 8?
2. The plot could be made to work with a few tweaks. Big tweaks. Like ripping half the bs out.
3. Adult humans don’t tend to jump to conclusions constantly and scream/cry/wail as much as that ridiculous main character.
4. Why?
5. Please for the love of the written word, listen to your editor.
6. Was there an editor?
7. Not every character in a novel thinks the same way or uses the same phrases or words.
8. Did I accidentally download some sort of fucked up Christian fiction?
9. Is the mystery/crime the main character being forced into marriage by her waste of space brother or is it that this story exists at all?
10. Why is anyone putting up with this bullshit?
11. Who really reviewed this story? Are they real people?
12. It’s not just one character that’s shite.
13. Hang on a second, how is he a medical doctor when he’s 23?

I honestly am dumbfounded. How is that awful story a best seller with so many good reviews?
