Seriously?!

Sounds like something I would have written in Form 2.

Can hunt down a couple of the ones I had published and post or something if that sort of thing spins your wheels.

Photocopy it for me :lol:

Sorry, if the rest of it is loaded with product names and crappy references like the extract, I might as well read a car mag.

I'll be a hater, suits me fine.

I do agree with you here. Does sound like a piece of creative writing someone would have written in school. "She hurtled forward as though stung by a hornet." Worst simile ever imo. That is what I would have written in Form 1, in fact I seem to recall I did write a simile very similar to that once but it was something about a bull being stung by a wasp. The writing is pretty lifeless and doesn't evoke any emotion for me. Others will have another view and I understand that so don't flame me.

If you wish to read the book, do so, if you dont, dont bother, pretty simple. No need for smartass comments if you havent even bothered to read it
