"He is an award-winning, internationally bestselling author of over 100 books for young children and adults. His book, The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches, is a '#1 Fiction Bestseller' and a 'Top 50 All Time Bestseller'. The companion novel, Keeper Martin’s Tale, was the #1 Fantasy of the Year in 2002, spent 26 weeks on Amazon’s SciFi Top 50, and was 'Voted Top 10 Fantasy 2004'."
This book is poisonous. I read a few dozen pages, now I think I might be dying.
It's the ramblings of an 8th grader, and not a particularly bright one. The writing is peppered with grammatical errors and the story itself is one loosely-formed ball of clichés rolled around in shit.
In a PTSD haze I went back to look at the listing and there were a bunch of 1 star reviews talking about how all of the glowing reviews were alternate personalities of Robert Stanek praising himself - some bizarre masturbatory self-promotion scam. I didn't even look at the actual content of the reviews originally; I guess I just assumed no one would be that much of a fuckface. I was an expensive lesson to learn, but now whenever I buy something from an unknown I suppose I'll have to err on the side of caution and do background checks on the author to make sure he isn't a deceptive nutjob."
Bwahahaha! I wanna read some of his shit now!
