Subject: RE: Review: David Masiel, The Western Limit of the W
LOL! Pretty funny review. Here's a brief excerpt:

"As I struggled through the novel, waiting for some plot illumination, some important revelation of character, I found myself increasingly frustrated. The lack of plot forced me to pay attention to Mr. Masiel's teeth-gnashing prose. He writes English like a man learning it for the first time."

The book may be a complete waste of time to read, but the review is entertaining.

It's kind of sad to think of its author, toiling for months, perhaps years, only to be savaged like this by the reviewers. Well, maybe Hollywood will make it into a dumb movie. It sounds perfect for that.
