		<description>I&#039;m actually kind of glad that so many books of questionable value are getting published these days. It keeps me supplied with things to write about.</description>

		<description>Oh, goodness! I read an excerpt from this book and the reviewer isn&#039;t kidding- about anything. Useless sentences, inconsistencies too obvious to ignore, and all the spelling errors. How could someone possibly publish something like this without... you know,... reading it? Surely an editor would have caught &#039;something&#039;, right?

I mean, alright, I might already be a tiny bit biased because this isn&#039;t the sort of thing I&#039;d read in the first place but still, it really is horrible.

Side note: I looked up the listed publish. AuthorHouse- it&#039;s self published. That certainly explains something. A note for anyone reading this, I know people who&#039;d used AuthorHouse and not a one of them says they&#039;re reputable. They don&#039;t even print the books themselves and to someone unskilled in translating some of the nonsense they put into fine print it can be quite a loss.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the link - the review is really hilarious!

Actually, reviewing is always easier than writing a book: the author should have enough... not talent or even basic grammar knowledge, but courage. And the worse a book is - the more courage one need to publish it :)</description>

		<description>Funny!  That review will probably send sales through the roof.

The fact that anyone can pay to have a book published means that some really dreadful things find their way into print.  The book reviewed here was published by AuthorHouse, a vanity press: the author paid to have the book published.  In the world of serious novelists, the publisher pays  the author.</description>
