What a joke....,

This review is from: Mr Instability (Paperback)
I read the reviews before purchasing this book and hoped it to be a good book, hell it had 1 bad review out of 6 reviews. I try to keep an open mind when reading books, but this book is just plain bad. Not even a whole 100 pages, horrible grammar, spelling and punctuation, large type, double spaced between paragraphs. I do not know how this book could have gotten published. If a book this bad could get published maybe I should start writing and make a quick buck.
I understood the book was written in emails going back and forth, but really do not waste your time nor money with this book. I really wish I could get back my day that I wasted reading this book. If you do not believe me on how bad this book is here is an example of what to expect: "I got a job. I picked up garbage. It was hot outside. All my friends played outside. I hated my job. I quit my job. Oh I found a new job. This is what I did. Didn't like this one either, so I quit. Oh another job. And on and on and on..." That is pretty much a summary of what the book is like.

A waste of time by a retard that thinks he can write,
By
This review is from: Mr Instability (Paperback)
It's unbelievably obvious that this "book" was not proofread by an editor at all!! If this publisher is this desperate for authors, then ANYBODY can be considered an author by them! They apparently have no editors on staff for this "book" to be published. This guy (who thinks he's an author now) wrote this with the most absolute worst grammar I have ever seen! In every possible form, on every single page there are multiple grammar mistakes. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't able to speak english properly either. Even with all of that aside, the idea behind this book was stolen from a MUCH better author that wrote a MUCH better book about the same subject. Read Iain Levinson's "A Working Stiff's Manifesto". That book is better than Tom Elsa's little piece of garbage in every possible way!! And you'll feel smarter after reading it, as opposed to having a migraine headache from reading a retard's thoughts for 98 pages, which is the end result of reading "Mr. Instability". (I'm not worried about hurting the author's feelings with this review because he obviously can't read.)

How is this book getting great reviews????,

This review is from: Mr Instability (Paperback)
It took me 45 minutes to read this 100 page book. It should not have taken that long but I had to go back and read several sentence fragments over and over again in an attempt to understand what the author was trying to say. The author makes fun of his own inability to write but seriously, "too" is spelled three different ways. Please make an effort to figure out which one to use before you publish something or you only insult the reader who paid money for your "book". And why do people keep saying how funny Mr. Instability is? If not knowing where to place a comma in a sentence if funny, this book is hilarious. Otherwise it's simply maddening to struggle through each two page chapter full of run on sentences, an inability to maintain a coherent story line, and misuse of "their / there" "to / too" and "then / than". Save your money and read the graffiti on a bathroom wall. It makes more sense and is more likely to make you laugh.

NOT GOOD,

This book was very short, don't waste your time buying it unless you plan on keeping it on top of your toilet to read once in awhile.

The spelling, grammar, and punctuation in this book are utterly atrocious! I couldn't even make it through the short online excerpt without getting distracted and aggravated!

Excellent Book,
This review is from: Mr Instability (Paperback)
I read the other review with the bad grammer etc and I agree, but its a book from a job hopper written at work. I bought the book knowing this. I thought the book was insanely funny and well worth over looking some bad puctuation and grammer. Basically its a slacker book! And written like one! I highly recommend this book!

Fun Book,
By Michelle Wyatt "Book Fanatic" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

I am reviewing Mr Instability, what drew me to buy this book was the fact that it was a collection of factual stories about a real person, and more importantly a humorous collection of stories. I thought the book was hilarious in some of the stories and just plain gross in others. I do recommend this book for people looking for a laugh, but dont for people who get grossed out easily.

Mr Instability,

Pretty funny book, had me laughing out loud at some parts and some left me wondering if someone is actually that stupid to do these things! Overall I would definetly recommend if you want a good laugh! A bit short though, I think he could have made the book longer but oh well still worth it!! P.S If I slipped in feces working in a jail I wouldnt tell anyone about it especially in a book!
