I have no idea why he quoted that Bible verse. I think it was Fred Knudsen's point that putting actually well written verses next to your own shitty prose actually makes your book look even worse.

Yeah I don't think anyone will call the publisher.. I mean Norman himself... to complain that this book is totally taken out of their own life, because they have HAL and it was supposed to be a big secret. Nor would anyone want to admit they're like this paper thin character.

Wait no, Calibre is actually working. I can read it like this. Great! Now I can get back to quoting full steam.

OK, I can quote now, even if the book opens like this. It's a mess, but the content can be seen and I can copy paste.

It didn't occur to Norman to LINK DIRECTLY to the page where he's selling ET. Now people will have to go on Amazon or Barnes and Noble and search for "Empress Theresa" to get the link. Maybe he doesn't know how to use links. Also it's amazon.co.uk.

I could probably counter this entire list. The day Norman found out about emojis was a dark day for us all. He doesn't seem to understand them on any level. Why is there an eye-rolling emoji before the list?

Does Norman realize that if a character cannot really be portrayed by an actress, there's something wrong with the character? Sadly Theresa has so little personality, an actor would probably struggle with it. She can only be boastful or angry.

I'm pretty sure the spikes in sales were due to KrimsonRogue/Fred Knudsen/others making videos about the book. People wanted to check out how bad it really was. Imagine getting Theresa for your Christmas present.

Yes, but it just does this. There seems to be nothing inside META and the other one gives what looks like random Edge sites.

All I get is this in every program.

By the way, if you have any version of the book, that's only one version. I have all of these and I'm missing the very first iteration that came out 2014.

I absolutely love this introduction that Norman deleted from the later editions.
