Official Review: The weakest link by Fernando Neves

[MsTri]

I hadn't actually planned to comment, even though I read your whole review, but then I got to your last line and had to comment that it was brilliant! I love a great ending line almost as much as a great intro, and you nailed it! As for the book, sorry you had to endure that. I too have read a few 1-2 star books here and no matter how short they are, they're still torturous, especially if they're full of grammatical errors.

Let me echo one of the comments above: "WOW! 16 PAGES?!" With the number of characters, that was bound to be confusing. Perhaps this was originally in his language and was just translated to appeal to an international audience? Regardless, I agree that the author could have invested more of his resources in a good editor.

Reviewer Molina, I am impressed and delighted with your good text, and your use of the pun in your sentences. You really made sufficient evidence for handing a verdict of 1 out of 4 stars for this book. But the book, being only comprised of a few pages, and granting those are all written anomalies, would you reconsider that the evidence is still scant for sending the book to the gallows? lol. Don't misunderstand me, but I really love your review.

Thanks for the appreciation, MsTri! I try to make each review memorable. It's my way of fulfilling my dream of writing.

Hi, Kabayan! There were, in fact, more characters! I admire the author for creating a multi-layered story using but 16 pages. But the delivery was severely flawed.

I felt bad giving the death sentence, but I couldn't give a higher rating. Very basic writing rules were violated.

Thanks for your kind words, Roggyrus. I hope to read your work soon.

Sadly, the book (of barely sixteen pages) never stood a chance. Only into the second paragraph, my list of grammatical errors already had ten items. By the second page, I stopped counting.

This book will be thrown by CommMayo in the garbage. ^_^

I appreciate your effort to get to know the author more.

So sad to hear you felt disappointed to the errors you found.

[Manang Muyang]

Hi, Dolor! I think CommMayo's passion for good grammar has stuck with you. She might be falling off her snowboard right now, lol!

Thanks for swinging by. I hope I have not hurt Fernando's feelings.

The book sounds intriguing. I think the people who love soccer would read it happily. Thanks for this great review.

[Manang Muyang]

Hi there, Sarah Tariq! Thanks for dropping by. I guess those who wouldn't mind sidestepping the errors would enjoy the book.

Never mind if ever she had really fallen down on the snowboard when I mentioned her name. ^_^ She got a perfect reviewer score when she came back. She was able to free her mind from the stress of feeding her hubby, their pets and herself.

I wonder why you did not review a book after this. I'm waiting for your latest book review. ^_^

[Manang Muyang]

I haven't written the review yet as my dad was hospitalized for a week, and my household chores piled up.. I have a huge reading backlog, too. I hope to get the review out next week, or else I'll be penalized. Good for CommMayo! % from the editors is Nirvana, LOL!

Is it just me or are characters motivated by money just plain boring? I have no interest in reading a story about rich people wanting to get richer. It's not a compelling motivation. Or maybe others think differently?

P.S. the use of the book's title in the review's last line is very clever

Hi, Kieran_Obrien! You are clearly still very young and untouched by the world's dirty hands. Sadly, money is the motivation for many of this world's souls. I hope that you will remain unblemished as you leave school and face the dark witches and wizards, not of Harry Potter's world, but of real life. I also hope I am not scaring you, LOL!

P.S. Thank you for the compliment. I try to be clever once in a while.

It is sad for a good book to get such a low rating. But I take one strong word you have communicated to the author, "communication is key to any relationship". Any person who wishes to write a book should understand that he or she is communicating his or her ideas to the audience, through that book. In most cases, the reader will not have any opportunity to seek clarification from the author concerning the book.
Thanks for your honest review.
