Don't get me wrong, I did too. I'm just saying that a couple hundred pages in the same style would be a bit wearisome

It was entertaining, but left me wondering whether or not the author was mocking somebody else's style of writing. A second read-through leaves the impression that it's probably not a spoof; he's serious!

For me it became wearisome at the point where he greased the Goodyears on brick one - - naturally. Who said fighter pilots have a monopoly on egos?

Checking the "What chicks dig manual." (Sound of pages flipping)

Nope, that entry is missing!

I agree, that while it was very entertaining, 200 pages of that would get old. If he used that entirely for the introduction, then that would be fine. That is just one style that we learned in journalism school. I always found that style hard for me to write since I have so many years of composing "just the facts" type writing. Seems to be the choice for people who write romance novels. It should be mixed with other styles of writing to be effective.
