'How to kill a EUROSWINE!' And 'Detached'

Dear Eric,
Your prologue is so refreshingly different. I enjoy the first person narrative that you use, plus the weird words for arms and eyelids. Really humorous and unique!

Well this is confusing at first, secondly it is interesting, third it becomes tempting to read and fourth it grabs the reader by the balls! Excellent.

The title...it is fantastic.

You should sub-head your prologue Post hoc ergo propter hoc- it's latin for what comes after because of before!. Just a thought...

BACKED.

Different. And quirky. I like it - a lot! Backed.

Hi Eric
There is some really clever stuff behind the madness. I found the prologue a bit confusing but I enjoyed the rest. The story flows nicely and the dialogue is well used to keep the pace. I spotted one or two typos (Id, rather than I'd) but I found this entertaining overall.

hullo Eric. An interesting start with the camping haze going on. Ed seems like he is looking for more than just trouble. good charecters and I could care less about the editing. Please take a look at mine.

Okay, there's some crazy genius here. Been on a trip or two myself and you capture it well. Needs mega-edit and a POINT but as for style, yep, you got it. Backed by Brammers. The Kingdom Within.

What you have decided to post so far is well written, well paced and I like your use of the first person narrative. Your good use of imagery and your descriptive writing style makes your finely crafted story a most enjoyable read. Backed with pleasure.

Welcome aboard, Eric. I'll be your second comment. This website will improve your writing craft, if you allow it. I'm a bit of a pitch doctor, having read thousands of pitches in my time on this website, so I want to share my insight here with you. You have to think of your pitches as your sales tool to grab the casual reader's eyes. The short pitch works. For the long pitch, expand on the story arch and then break it down into smaller paragraphs so it reads faster. Good that you end it with one succinct question to pique your casual reader's interest. Perfecting your pitches is how you climb in ranking to gather more exposure and comments to better your novel. The writing is good so I am SHELVING you.

Though I have been a very active member for over a year and have the most commented book, I can still use your comments on my book when you get the chance. Every little bit helps. Cheers!

Dear Eric, I love that you are telling of a life I know nothing of & really hope I'm never there. May God help. :) Before I began to read your book, I was prepared by your recap/pitch,which was very well done. :) Your story is good because you create interest by having short paragraphs & lots of dialogue, which makes me want to keep reading to find out what's going to happen next. I'm "backing" your book: When you back a book, it only improves the ranking of that book, not yours. However, the author whose book you are backing may decide to back your book also, in which case yes, your ranking would be improved...authonomy. :) Please "back" my TWO memoir books, "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not" & my completed memoir unedited version? "Tell Me True Love Stories," which tells at the end, my illness now & 6th abusive marriage." Thanks, Susie :)
p.s. Remember: Every time you place a book on your bookshelf, your recommendation pushes the book up the rankings. And while that book sits on your bookshelf, your reputation as a talent spotter increases depending on how well that book performs. :)
