[FloraKitty35]

Thanks, but I'll pass this offer up. I just remembered that I have some ironing to do. :embarrassed:

Don't neglect the dust on your ceiling fans.

[keen23]

[Georgiana]

Oh goodness.

You know I would...

But I've been painting rooms lately, and so I could always sit there and watch the paint dry.

And I just think that would be less mind-numbingly dull than reading a Moody book so....

I'm gonna have to pass.

If I take one for the team and read it does anyone want some commentary?

[Dark Matters]

I got it. I'll read anything that's FREE. And there is always the "delete" button if I can't get through it.

[Pastors Daughter]

If I take one for the team and read it does anyone want some commentary?

Yes please. Commentary is the ONLY thing that will get you through it anyway.

[J'Lurker]

Please, please, please provide us with commentary!

[Marian the Librarian]

Sarah: "I have amazing news."

Translation: "Our desperation grows stronger by the day."

The Botkins did this recently too, making their "Homeschool Dropouts" video free. (Spoiler: it's really bad.)

[socalrules]

After I ordered it, Amazon suggested that I might be interested in British thrillers. The two things could not be more different.

[SPHASH]

HELL YES! I want to hear all about the ejaculating bratwursts.

[Mary C Doates]

Just the thing for my insomnia!

*hurries off to fire up the Kindle*

So I am not reading this closely because it is so bad but here are some parts ya'll may enjoy:

You really can tell that Sarah just doesn't hear a lot of people talking. She has no idea what normal language should sound like. For instance the kids hear a noise in the night and this is said:

“No. That’s too much noise for an opossum. I imagine it’s a cougar! Time is of utmost importance. We must wake Dad,†Mitch urged. At eight years old, Mitch had quite an imagination.

In the first chapter the Moody's find a dog. They want to feed it and this occurs:

Mom opened the refrigerator, contemplating the choices. Just then, Dad walked in. Mom said, “The only thing I can find for the dog is your special lunch meat.†“My work lunch meat? Oh, well. I’ll sacrifice. I can pick up some fast food for lunch,†Dad replied with a little twinkle in his eye. “I’ll call the children inside so we can have Bible time before breakfast. We’ll leave Honey out back.â€

First of all who has "special lunch meat"? Also I don't know why but I found that hilarious.

Dad asks the kids what they want to do this summer. Mollie says she wants to bake cookies. Dad responds like this:

"Mollie, instead of baking cookies for our family, you could start a little baking business and sell to neighbors.â€

How did he make this jump? She is nine years old. Let her bake. You can just tell Sarah doesn't live in the real world.

--Okay enough reading for now- my house is a mess and the dogs need walking!

I likened it to having "special brownies" when I read it, haha.

I have never known anyone, let alone a child, to call it an opossum. Everyone I have ever heard says possum. And we have a lot of possums here. I had a family move in under my house, so I called a possum-oriented rescue. They all said possum.

"Time is of utmost importance. We must wake [Father]." said an adult character from a Jane Austen novel.

Oh no wait. That was said by a modern, 8 year old boy. Riiiiiight.

[sparkles]

I just downloaded it. I'm waiting to get an email from Amazon that says, "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?!?"

[Palimpsest]

After I ordered it, Amazon suggested that I might be interested in British thrillers. The two things could not be more different.

Could be that you ordered it right after me. I like British detective stories and Amazon is weird like that.

I don't intend to read it (read it before). I just wanted to use up some of the quota.

[PearlKrabs]

Downloaded. I'm looking forward to the text analyses. ::laughing::

[fundiefan]

I downloaded it and will start reading shortly. I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately and figure this will be better than sleepingnaids. If I can get past what I already know is atrocious writing.

[16strong]

If anyone here is an editor, you should download the book, edit it, and send the edited copy back to Sarah. Muahahahaha!!!

[Trynn]

That reminds me, I need to work on my moody fan fiction story....

[freejugar]

Does she think that reading the first book will make people so hooked to the story that they will buy all the moody series?

[sparkles]

Wow. I've read the first few chapters and...words fail me. Unfortunately, they've failed Sarah too. I'm really trying to read this with an open mind, as if I never heard of the Maxwells, but this is just BAAAAD. Her storytelling is incoherent and she writes as though children were idiots. I get that she's going for wholesome but this is so boring it's practically flatlining.

It's a good thing the Maxwells self publish.

[Miggy]

I raced over here to share the news but you all know already. :cry: How did everyone find out before me? My email from Teri with the exciting news only arrived a few minutes ago.

I am very sad that I don't have a kindle and won't be able to download my free book. I'll have to content myself with rereading whatever the Moody book I ended up with was called. I'm sure it's exactly the same. :lol: Maybe I'll reread Making Great Conversationalists instead.

In other news, the next prayer and fasting day is the 18th May and the Maxwell family are planning a "Homeschooling with a Meek and Quiet Spirit" Tour.
