Advance Review of FAMILY BLOG #4


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Spiritually this novel is a failure. The characters at times appear so hopeless, it made me wince. Their blogs invariably revolve around a handful of leitmotivs, such as watching TV, eating, shopping, consuming drugs. Furthermore, I got the impression that the author is not at all able to distinguish between these superficialities and the more noble acts she mentions, such as finding love, raising children, engaging in meaningful work, fighting for freedom and democracy. Whatever the characters do seems to be just another failed attempt to avoid boredom. I presume that most readers will be disgusted by this farce. Fortunately."

Advance Review of FAMILY BLOG #3

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The promises of open-minded characters and illicit sex are overblown. I was disappointed to find so little nudity and explicit acts of copulation.

Advance Review of FAMILY BLOG #2

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The novel is a covert celebration of junkies and slackers. Nobody gets any enjoyment unless they’re high or whining. Worst of all, though, is the author’s light-handed treatment of her story. As if everything was one big joke.
Well, I ain’t laughing !
I’ve got one piece of advice for Clary Antome: get yourself a proper job for a change, young lady. It will teach you the value of life."

Advance Review of FAMILY BLOG #1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A dreadful debut! The author shamelessly mocks all the values our society holds dear: family, love, work. Her cynical undertone is disturbing and demoralizing. Keep this book out of the reach of children!"

(Dora Prude, The Happy Family Daily, London)
