Capture the Heart of a Book in Exactly 100 Words!
My latest blog, 100-Word-Book-Reviews.blogspot.com is now online.
My site lets busy people get to the heart of a book in just one hundred words!
Read a good book recently? Want to write a witty review? Great! Just cut the crap, sever all superfluity of syntax, reign in your railing rhetoric, eschew excess, suffer Ciceronian superabundance to submit to Senecan severity, prefer the pithy apothegm above the prolixly proverbial pontification, limit your literary loquacity, and, in short, defer to the discipline of writing a review in exactly 100 wise and witty words.
Or just read the reviews that have been posted.
[Lens description: 100 words. ;-)]
