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!

"Customers Who Bought Items Like This Also Bought:

Brisingr (Inheritance, Book 3) by Christopher Paolini"



Why am I not surprised?

On the other hand, it is a rather handy warning. Anyone who recommends Paolini is someone I'm not going to listen to.

Brisingr... my lips just went into some interesting shapes.

I was thinking more drunken typo, myself.

Sadly, no, it's the actual title.

It's like he was typing Brisingamen, got halfway through, and gave up.

I have no doubt in my name that he ran out of E words.

I have no doubt in your name either. I am fully convinced that it is your real name.

No, he just didn't want to use 'Ewwwww'.
