Wagwan - This book as almost as bad as what Rolf Harris did to those two little boys who had two little toys. Never read it but by the same token I'd personally rather defecate in my hands and clap over and over. My hands are full of metaphorical shit as is my mind thanks to his "expertise". His book is the language of websites, this is the language of an individual who has suffered and had to put up with the consequences. You think you've had your time wasted? This guy is a writer in the same way that the drawings on the coco-pops box is technically art.

Some might say that you merely offered your direction for newer website developers, but the truth is you couldn't direct piss into a bucket pal.

Spoilers -






Han Solo dies.

Wagwan, guess who's back, back again... as a quote from Slim Shady. Thank You for destroying my unit 1 media Btec coursework. And now i can not go to uni to learn Astrophysics because of my media grade and now i am stealing electricity from a local library in order to compose this review. I would like to congratulate on the success of your book but now after the riots we have been a part of with Unit 1 i now hope your book does awful. :)

Thanks for your kind consideration.

This book is useless, almost as bad as your teaching was. First let me just enlighten you of how soul destroying it was to be a part of your media class. I now know to always check the mark schemes and don't do work that is not needed i.e a questionnaire!!!!! Waste of time

"Don't play games, Don't play games with me" - my personal favourite quote from the book. However this is an extremely vague description of what the language of the websites is - very similar to his vague description when completing Unit 1 Media. A close friend of mine told me about this book, no longer a close friend, and I decided to pay the £65 hoping for a powerful fictional novel but to my disbelief I was lead on by Mark. 1 out of 5 stars. Certainly wouldn't recommend.

Excellent book. Intellectual and easy to follow too.
