Alan Beard's site

As a change from rejection slips, (but also a kind of rejection) I thought I would share with my two readers this review from amazon:

One star:

Yet Another Piece Of Written Depression ., 3 Sep 2009

By Borella - See all my reviews

This review is from: Taking Doreen Out of the Sky (Paperback)

Why do people write this stuff ? Alan Beard certainly has some " modernistic" writing skill but to choose such a litany of miserable situations has me asking "Why ?" . It's a collection of situations which lead you swiftly to a depressed state of mind . I couldn't wait to finish it but only because I couldn't wait to get rid of the damn thing and move on to something rather more uplifting . A visit to the local crematorium maybe . If it's a sunny day this book will ruin it . If it's a rainy day you too will be tempted to go to the crematorium - in order to hop in . Go and read Birdsong instead.

I love it. Thanks Borella.
