Okay, this has to be one of the weirdest spams I've gotten...and yes, I did in fact give The Road one star, but that was because it was a damn annoying book that was trying and totally failing to be Steinbeck, not because of so-called "homegrown terrorism".

Whatever that means...

I know you gave only ONE STAR to Oprah's Book Club "The Road" but, in the age of home-grown terrorism, I would like to make you aware of what it is probably already happening in American Operating Rooms:

This is not another "A MILLION LITTLE PIECES." I sincerely hope my novel is fiction.

Okay, first things first, this particular book (I looked it up myself on Amazon, not clicking on the links) came out a year ago, so it's a bit late for self promotion. Second of all, how the hell did he get my email and why was this sent to me?!?? Not sure if it's because I trashed "The Road" which, if you think about it, has nothing to do with this guy's book.

Oh, and apparently, a lot of reviewers on Amazon are saying it's a good book, but desperately needs to be edited. I'm guessing that someone's novel is a little too dear to their heart and is going a little too far in defending it...

One other thing--the email address listed on this spam? Actualy Yahoo address, listed as "dr.noshots". Ooookay...
