Thanks for sending your book, which I’ve now read
. You wanted feedback? So off the top of my head; You claim it’s a work of; “both style and flair” But from where I’m sitting, au contraire! There were a few flaws that I managed to spot, It seemed to be lacking what we call a “plot”, The characters were one-dimensional at best, Your grammar would fail a schoolroom test, It started badly, faded, and finished on a low, It beggars belief that you didn’t already know It was lacking in wit, style, or grace, Dramatic tension, structure or pace. A literary abomination, without redemption, The most worthless thing I’ve read, without exemption, You call it a “mystery”, and with this I agree; Why you bothered to write it, is a mystery to me! It wasn’t worth reading, let alone writing It induced a deep depression, which I’m currently fighting. In summary, your work shows no talent of any kind And may be the product of an unbalanced mind. But alas, these days, what I think seldom counts And I know this rubbish sells in staggering amounts And while there seems no cliché that you’ve missed I’m sure it will top the best seller’s list! Find enclosed an advance and we’ll be in touch About a multi-book deal, publicity and such Evening I think recirculating the air on planes is a poor idea Sinnerman
