Reviewing The Reviewers

From Michelle, Whimsical in Rotterdam...

You know that saying about when life throws lemons at you, you can either (a) sink into the deepest darkest pit of doom and despair, or (b) make lemonade?

Well, today I choose lemonade making.

Here are some (made up by me but based on real) reviews...

* * * * * This is a work of astounding genius!!!!! I LOVE this book!!!! Michelle Cunnah is the most talented writer in the ENTIRE GALAXY! You must go out and buy this book right now!!!! Reviewer #1

Michelle comments: Dear Reviewer #1, you are obviously a highly intelligent person of exquisite taste and refinement.

* cunnah is the worst riter on the fase of the planet please please dont buy this book because its terrable and just becos a wuman has size 32aa breasts it doesnt mean that no guy will ever want her. im small and proude of it. small womin of the world yunite against this steryotipical big-boob mith! reviewer #2.

Michelle comments: Dear Reviewer #2, I am sorry you didn't enjoy my book. I am, however, a bit perplexed by your assumption that I was attacking people with small breasts, because the book is actually about a small-breasted woman who (a) doesn't get implants, and (b) finds true love. Good luck with English 101!

______________________________________

* This book is light, frothy and insubstantial. There are no lessons to be learned - in fact, it was a complete waste of this reviewer's time. Reviewer #3.

Michelle comments: Dear Reviewer #3, thank you for taking the time to read and review 32AA. However, I note from your other book reviews that this is the first romantic comedy you've chosen and that your preference seems to be mainly for non-fiction books about trains, baseball or weaponry through the ages. I am wondering if you incorrectly assumed that a book entitled 32AA had links to trains, baseball or weaponry. An easy mistake to make...

Michelle :-)

PS. Just joking.
