It’s early days, but feedback on my book from my LibraryThing giveaway looks very promising.
An Aspiration To Lie Flat is currently rated at 4.38 stars by readers.
(That’s not bad, on a site where The Code of the Woosters garners a 4.31 rating. That certainly isn’t how I would rate the two books. Some might find the comparison laughable, including me, but I’ll happily accept it.)
Edit: Subsequent reviews have lowered my book’s average to 4.22, so order has been restored to the universe.
Here are some excerpts from my book’s reviews. All of the following quotes can be attributed to LibraryThing users.
“This is a totally inane book that should be read by many.”
Edit: I couldn’t agree more.
“To me, it was a big joke, in a good way.”
“This story is hilarious, absurd, has a lot of heart, and is almost scary as in how I can imagine it could actually happen to someone.”
“What a fun whirlwind of a read! Keep in mind that at a quick 129 pages there simply isn’t a lot of time for nuance. Just enjoy the ride! I sure did!”
“I wasn’t sure what to expect from An Aspiration to Lie Flat, but it completely won me over. The humor is dry and understated, the kind that lingers and gets funnier the more you think about it. The main character is a disaster in the best way, yet you can’t help but root for him. The writing is sharp, fresh, and unlike most books I’ve picked up. If you enjoy offbeat, clever stories that break away from the usual formula, this one is definitely worth reading.”
There is a real possibility you will like this book!
(I’m careful not to overpromise. But you really might.)
