New Roman Times reviewed
Last night, someone tipped me off to the fact I go another Amazon review for New Roman Times. It was hilarious. The person who hasn't finished the book yet, nailed it as being a plitical satire.
But the other thing they liked a lot was that it's a book to read when you're, well...sitting on the toilet.
I am including this part of their review (hopefully they won't mind)
"Oh I forgot—the other criteria for judging books. It all comes down to whether or not they are written for sitting on the toilet.
Allow me to explain.
With some books, the chapters are way too long. If I’m going to drop the kids off at the swimming pool, I figure ten, twelve pages max is what you need per chapter, but less is better. I don’t want to get bogged down in a chapter after I’ve already finished my business. Then I either have to sit there and finish the chapter, or close it early. And that’s a bit weird, having completed one thing but leaving the other thing unfinished.
What I mean is, New Roman Times is the perfect book for building a log cabin, because I can do so, and finish a chapter at the same time so I get this nice sense of completion.
Although I have to say, this morning I ended up sitting longer than I’d planned because I got to the part where the main character Braxton meets these aliens. Yes. Aliens.
My girlfriend was angry about it because she had to get ready for work, and she kept banging on the door, so finally I had to get up.
She doesn’t share my same criteria for judging books, but I have a feeling she’ll want to borrow it after I’m done."
I mean, who needs to be on the best seller list when you've got that kind of accolade?
