From the author:

“I am more marmite than marmite, you will either adore my books and find them hilarious, or you will detest them with a throbbing passion, there does not seem to be a inbetween. I am yet you meet anyone who thinks their just ok,and that suits me, I would rather be hated than mediocre, at least if they hate you, they remember you”

Don’t tell the author this, but I often hate and forget.

Damn you, Bruce! I read far enough to get to the probing of Botty’s anal mechanism and thought…nope, I’ve now met or exceeded my masochism quota for today.

I hate to tell Mr. Carr, but I suspect that most of his readers will fall on the hate-marmite side. He might even have a sense of humor, but his storytelling skills are simply abysmal. (Sorry, Mr. Carr–but when people tell you that they hate your writing, you really OUGHT to wonder if it means that your writing is crap, rather than, they don’t like the sort of stories you tell.) I mean, the puerile storyline could well appeal to the appropriate audience, but not if he can’t tell it a s**tload better than that.

You made it farther than I did. I read the blurb and decided that I didn’t need to see any more prose of that quality.

With such an atrocious abuse of the English language, it is easy to see why anyone with the slightest education would hate his writing. And the inconsistent punctuation on the cover compared to the actual title.

I mean, it certainly beats the screaming goose on the original cover . . .

This is why we need the Oxford comma, people. Based on this title, I am of the firm belief that Rick Toenail is a space sheriff and has princess power (and also a really unfortunately-named family).
