The commenter never expanded much on it, but I recall that they compared it to <i>Letters from a Disgruntled Friendship Student</i>, and that's already a harsher put-down than any reviewer here could ever come up with. So I'm also not surprised that you didn't like it.<br /><br />As a Brit, I do find British stereotypes funny, but that still seems like an incredibly weak premise to build an entire story around, and it certainly <i>sounds</i> lazy from what you described of it (and looks it too, considering it covers four episodes of events in a 6K word count).<br /><br />And authors who abuse the EqD pre-readers are the worst sort of people.DannyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273313206696087395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184562969471581744.post-32178731967940285482013-11-29T10:23:32.836-06:002013-11-29T10:23:32.836-06:00Looks like Orange Frog's getting bumped up the...Looks like <i>Orange Frog</i>'s getting bumped up the queue and <i>Cross Words</i> is getting added<br /><br />I'm not surprised you didn't enjoy that last one.
