How To Write A Review
Remember what you learned in English class? When ol' Professor Hefalump would look down his warty nose and smirk? Well, forget that. We're not writing for the Hoboken Literary Gazette, more like the People Magazine 5-items or less line at SaveMart. Or the wicked pingy Twitter-verse.
Really? Really. Make it fun, funny, sharp, acerbic, visceral, and above all -- make it ENTERTAINING. Use action verbs. Even if you hated the book, let your creative passions flow.
Now, please, try not to hurt anyone's feelings, and no swear words, because up in the attic some divine creature has poured heart and soul into this labor of love for nine months. Then you come along and waltz her baby around the block on your electric go-cart. Remember being 16 and life at 10-miles per hour? Times have changed, Toto.
Did ya like it? Who's the hottest character? Got a favorite passage? What kept you up at night? Who would you give the book to? We live in a witty, blurby word, darlings, so have at it.
No worries. Professor Hefalump ain't never going to read it, so have fun. On'Ya dear readers.

We like to write and read and muse awhile and smile. My pal Prasad comes to mutter too. Together we turn words into the arc of a rainbow. Insight Lite, you see?
