Review: Amusing and probably more accurate than the usual how to books

This was very amusing.  Even if you haven't read any self- publishing guides or indeed any self-help stuff it is still a very funny read.  If you have read any of those types of books it does a very good job of parodying them and they certainly need that.I laughed out loud on a few occasions and having read a few writing and self publishing guides I recognised a lot of the behaviours that it was making fun of.  I expect that this book probably comes much closer to explaining the sudden success of some authors than their own claims do.I was wary of the book at first as its title is "How To Sell A Gazillion eBooks In No Time (Even if Drunk, High or Incarcerated).  As I am Drunk, high AND incarcerated I thought that I might have to wait for the sequel.However I am happy to report that this book is responsible for me unleashing my writing talents on the world.Look out for my stunning self development opus " The seven habits of the lazy man's guide to awakening the giant within whilst facing fears of making chicken soup for the soul."I have noticed that there is a dearth in the market of crime novels featuring a maverick cop who doesn't obey the rules and gets the job done and whose bosses never trust him despite him regularly solving innumerable "unsolvable crimes"  in hardly any time, virtually always on his own and with minimal resources.Maybe to add depth to the character I will portray him as  being psychologically scared from the Cod war and unable to walk into a branch of Iceland's without suffering from flashbacks.
