When the Review Tops the Book

When the Review Tops the Book When the Review Tops the Book When the Review Tops the Book By Daniel Scocco Some time ago one of our readers sent me a link to a brilliantly written book review, interestingly enough about a shockingly bad book. The person who wrote the review is called Charles Moore. Here is a quote from it: That pretty much sums up my experience reading Aaron Rayburns novel, THE SHADOW GOD. I took one for the team, so the rest of you would NEVER have to be subjected to this beast. I beg you, dont let my selflessness be for nothing. Heed my warning. This is the worst book ever written. The back cover copy reads Craig Johnson had two best friends, two caring parents, a hot girlfriend, and a nice trucknot bad for a twenty-year-old. Already were in trouble. The author photo shows Rayburn in all his mid-20s virginal glory. Manson contacts, a black cap turned backwards with a red 666 monogrammed on it, hes posing next to what looks like a rubber demon. His bio includes the line He also says that he owes a great deal of gratitude to the Devil . . . for filling his mind with such horrific images. If this book is the most horrific thing the devil can come up, I think humanity is safe from the threat of hell. So if you want laugh a bit, here is the permalink.
