I didn’t realise the two-faced git was in the military. But she isn’t, so I don’t think her signing his discharge petition would do any good. At least he admits that he has more than one face. More than most men would do.
I could go on and on (and on) with examples but I won’t. I think I’ve made my point. This book is both the worst book I have ever read and one of the funniest – I almost peed my panties laughing at the ridiculous sex scenes. Sometimes bad really can be good. I’m not going to recommend this book however; I don’t want to be responsible if you don’t find it as funny as I did.
A note to the author: Basem, I know that you’re planning on writing a sequel to this and I would like to say, please don’t. I also read on the back cover that you’re a medical student. If I were you I would stick to that. Don’t quit the day job.

Woah, how on earth did this get published?! I trust your judgement, and on reading your review and somewhat bewildered!
Incidentally, did you know that men apparently can lactate due to extreme malnutrition? The author of this work may have had better luck if he had've added a male lactating sex scene instead of a female one, heh heh.

You know what I wondered the same thing. Turns out it's self published. He should've at least paid for an editor for christ's sake.
3 - A.L. Harper
Oh yeah. I didn't know men could lactate. I don't think I wanted to know but thank you for the insightful information.
4 - Snarkattack
Yes, sorry for the completely useless information. It seems to be selling pretty well for a self-published book, at least according to Amazon. Not all self-published work is bad, but clearly this isn't the mould-breaker.
5 - A.L. Harper
No I have reviewed a couple of self published books that were good. They were fuckin' Tolstoy compared to this shite! Although, I did laugh a lot. But of course it was for the wrong reasons.
I guess you have to weigh that against how much it costs.

And if you happen to hit more...Dickensian times, you can add water and either eat the pages of said bad self-published erotica, or use it to keep your fires lit!
Now I'm just being mean. I do feel slightly sorry for the author.
7 - A.L. Harper
I feel sorry for him too. Poor kid. He doesn't have a chance of getting a woman. Not if this is what he thinks is romance.
8 - A.L. Harper
Or good sex.

But A.J.,
It seems that Basem is making money off this trash. This says something for the high literary taste of the reading public, doesn't it?
Who cares about plots or the holes in plots when you have an abundance of holes functioning?
10 - A.L. Harper
Ruvy I'm shocked! You talking about functioning holes?! *laugh* I love it!
It is sad that this book is doing so well. It really doesn't deserve it. There are so many books out there with real literary value or at least more than a passing can't-look-away, car-accident appeal. And authors with real talent. Who deserve the recognition and money.

Oh good Lord! Such atrocious writing and such great fun to pick apart! A.L., I'm going to the library to see if they have it...I simply must take a stab at this one, too.

The more I think about it, the more I admire this Darwish character. Writing shit is easy. Selling it, on the other hand...
13 - A.L. Harper
I'm so glad you liked it Joan. You can borrow my copy. I would love that if you wrote another review to get another POV. Not to mention more hilarious quotes from the book.
Ruvy - You're going to make start to admire him don't do that! I guess it just goes to show that marketing is everything.
BLECH!

Her lips said no no no, but her eyes said yes yes yes--and her voluptuous bosom, her 48-hour orgasm, the broken elevator, the signed discharge papers, and, for some reason, the roast beef.
Damingly damnable, but great review, A.L.
15 - A.L. Harper
Thanks Gordon! Yeah what's with the roast beef for breakfast? Who eats scrambled eggs with roast beef on English muffins? Am I missing some huge cultural shift from cereal or toast to red meat and un-fertilised chicken ovum?
16 - Christopher Rose
I'm still laughing over the imagined force of this guy's ejeculation! "the force of his release into Jennifer shot her to the other side of the elevator"
Classic!
17 - A.L. Harper
Are you glad to see me darling or is that just a canon in your pants?
18 - Jet in Columbus
Uh huh... And I was worried about my posts?
19 - A.L. Harper
What? This is as clean as this post could possibly be.
20 - Jet in Columbus
And that's saying something!
21 - A.L. Harper
Yes I've read your posts. They are very good.
22 - Jet in Columbus
Thank you, that means a lot. Have you checked out my personal blog? There's one there that I can't publish here you might like.
23 - A.L. Harper
Very interesting Jet. Well done.

Spontaneous lactation? Oh my god this is so bad it sounds campy.
