[Closed] Bummer of a start to the weekend

Just got a review sent to me of a book I wrote, and it was resoundingly negative.

If I knew where the guy lived who wrote it, I would be tempted to sabotage his bike. But he probably doesn't even ride one.

Righting a book has to be harder than writing a review. ###k him.

What is the book BTW?

Why not post a few excerpts on here so we can judge for ourselves?

Thanks, gentlemen.

It's an academic work in which I analyse a seventh-century manuscript for its ideas. Perfect bedtime reading.

Writing a wrong is probably easier than righting a book. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Don't hijack my misery, Duggan! I want an excuse for a beer!

Seriously, that [i]is[/i] a real bummer, and I'm sorry to hear it. I think we might just need a good ride tomorrow, and then get ready to start the next week afresh.

you should never criticise someone unless you have walked a mile in their shoes.....

that way if you have upset them, they're a mile behind you and barefoot

sounds like a sh1tter though chaps, have a nice beer anyway

Is there no the slightest, remotest chance that your book is rubbish?

You always think your children are cutesy apple-cheeked scamps and everyone else's are yobs. You always think your farts are interesting.

Could it not be the case with your literary emmissions too?

Just saying is all.
