I can't even build up the courage to ask anyone I know who has read the book to please write a review if they liked it and can spare a few minutes because it's really important... See? I'm not even asking them and I'm all apologetic already. I don't understand how people always think they won't be caught out. I'm embarrassed for him.Liane Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035607144500219524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291389383714567128.post-64223540019013046362012-09-09T15:56:20.516-07:002012-09-09T15:56:20.516-07:00Yes this bloke's face has been in the papers a...Yes this bloke's face has been in the papers all week, online all over.

His books were selling quite well last time I looked, he's not a bad writer. And his glowing self-reviews were so over the top they became parodies, so completely unbelievable anyway. But I agree with you, giving bad reviews to others just for the hell of it, that is too much for anyone's sense of humour!Marina Sofiahttp://findingtimetowrite.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
