A book review of A Book Nowadays the word masterpiece is all too often used for books that barely transcend mediocrity and I’m happy that I can finally say I have read a true masterpiece. In his book, A Book, writer Jackie Longwell, A pseudonym for well-known author Thomastem, takes us on a riveting journey through a dystopian wasteland, A journey I implore you to take as well. The story takes us to the heart of a not so distant dystopian future, where we find our protagonist: A 17 year old cyborg overlord that had just taken over an American Football team. From there on we start a journey where we explore every inch of his love hate relationship with a young stunning Nigerian princess as he tries to make his team work the way they should. Now at first glance I must admit this sounds like the insane ramblings of a 17 year old boy with too much time on his hands, but you would be mistaken. This work of art will stand the test of time as the harshest pieces of criticism on the current state of global politics and economy. For example the head coach of the team is a clear reference to Donald Trump. A man so caught up in the trivial matters of the team, like attendance sheets, he fails to see the bigger picture. And it has to be said Longwell nails this character perfectly. I don’t think anyone has ever nailed Trump the way Jackie Longwell nails Trump! Another interesting side character in the book is coach Brad. He exemplifies the current state of management in the US Economy. Focusing on attendance and punishment rather than merit and rewards. It’s clear to see that our writer wants to criticize the current economic system, a system that leads to cyborg overlords taking over. At the same time he’s not afraid to show us an alternative way. The Cyborg overlord shows himself as a benevolent ruler and though his supremacy is well established in the book, more often than not he uses his power to protect the little man. Another phenomenal aspect about the book is the amount of in-jokes and Easter-eggs hiding for the more attentive reader. There is a hilarious bit in the book in which our cyborg overlord and coach Brad first call each other idiots, only to have our cyborg overlord walk away, looking for a new coach and then once again calls for coach Brad as if it’s a different coach! This is the kind a comedy you just can’t create unless you’re a genius. But it’s not all fun and games in this book, the most important character is without a doubt the Nigerian Princess. A metaphor for how the Western society brutalizes the African continent. Much like the continent the Princess comes off as pure, innocent and troubled. She has endured many hardships and is caught in a complicated relationship with our cyborg overlord. I don’t want to give too much away for you potential readers out there, but it is endearing to see the relationship between a despot and a hard-working African Princess lead to a much better world for everyone A book is without a doubt the greatest thing ever created by mankind, and the message of love, peace and understanding is so perfectly written, this book will be on the bestseller list for years. Rumours are already surfacing that this it will be released as an audiobook and it won’t be long before the book is adapted to a screenplay for Hollywood!   
That bodes some great piece of reply from our friend Jackie.  |

Maybe you should get it private. That would avoid everybody to see the videos you liked... like this "how to turn a water bottle into a bong" video. Just saying...

Rather than causing trouble why don't you do something productive like downloading chapter 1 vid. I tried to tell you chapter 2, "Coach rewards the team with balloons." should come after chapter 1, "Where the f*** is my attendance sheet?" 2 comes after 1 not before it. |
