Bad BookIf you set out to write a bad book, a book so utterly bad that it is entitled, "Bad Book", what could go wrong? I suppose you could wind up with a good book, totally blowing the title. Can a book titled "Bad Book" be really a great book? In disguise?  People have gone mad asking questions like that. Even more have lost their minds trying to answer them. I suppose that the questions are all somewhat rhetorical given that someone did set out to write a bad book so bad that it is called simply "Bad Book" and it is perhaps a great work of fiction - if by great you mean totally derivative satire.In the traditions of Airplane, Scream 
 I...IV to infinity, Fireside Theatre and Monty Python's flying circus the authors of "Bad Book" (a title so heinously bad it must appear in quotes, always.) have pretty much taken every genre in genre fiction and spoofed it to absurdity.Normally, you would think that three different writers would produce three definable voices in a collaboration like this. But psychoanalysis of the work reveals no such multiple personality disorder in the text contained within. It is impossible to impeach the character of any of the authors without assailing them all as a single, albeit warped, mind. This is a truly remarkable feat. To even find one person this mentally ill is publishable, to find three working together on the internet rivals the discovery of the Higgs boson particle.What "Bad Book" really is, it's deeper meaning, is pure entertainment. Laughs, dirty minded innuendo, ridiculously obvious puns and side splitting comedic satire. And I like it. In fact, I loved it. I loved it because it is funny and it made me laugh. And that is a good book, perhaps a great one given the current state of the world.
