Default Check out reviewer "Matt Eaton" getting all mad at the fake reviews.

I suspect the comments, few as they are, are where the real comedy stands.
Judging from these excerpts, I'm inclined to agree with the person who posted that the author should stick to fanfics and not actual published works. This may be cool as, say, a blog post or some website, but I'd be genuinely surprised if significant numbers of folks actually paid money for this.

The only thing I can speak to as a positive for this is I have actually heard the name Clayton Overstreet before, so quasi-internet celebrity status I can confirm.

That said, this is a fun and entertaining idea but the samples make it seem like it could have used some more time and work to really tighten up the writing.

EDIT: BTW I guarantee the 25 dollar price is due to Mr. Overstreet probably financing printing of physical copies himself. Which makes me think perhaps he should have looked into a website or perhaps an ebook version, because people are far more willing to invest a few dollars into something like this that is digital than an expensive physical version. Ex. The Stolen Moon of Londor. If this were 2.99 or something on iPad or eReaders people would react differently.
