WHY ARE YOU READING A CHILDREN'S BOOK: A miniwank bedtime story.
Once upon a time, a self-published author wrote a book about ANTIGUA: The Land of Fairies Wizards and Heroes! (Alas, the land lacked commas!) She even gave it every tag in existence, of which only about three were appropriate! (Miley Sirus? Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows? High School Musical? What, no Kitchen Sink tag?) Unfortunately, it got bad reviews by everyone but the author. Even the forums weren't safe. And neither was Barnes & Noble! THE FIVE STAR REVIEWS ARE NOT FROM THE AUTHOR! REALLY!

And we all lived happily ever after!

The End!

	I love how the Amazon forums include a thread by the author (still without any additonal comments) that is posted in ALL CAPS. BECAUSE THIS IS SRS BZNSS, AND ALSO YOUR KID WILL ENJOY THIS BOOK. THAT IS NOT AN OPINION, IT IS A POSTHYPNOTIC SUGGESTION. Because your brain does pretty much shut down upon reading the excerpt. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I'm fond of the "PARENTS OF OLDER TEENS OVER FOURTEEN DO NOT CRITIQUE THE COVER OF MY BOOK" empty thread. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The wording leads one to think the entire thing was written by a Dalek trying to imitate a fifteen-year-old after getting ahold of some bad fanfic. (Reply to this)(Parent)
