Sep 10, Brenda Clough rated it it was amazing. I am the author of Chapter I set a number of ground rules for myself: maximal cursing and four-letter words. Per Ursula LeGuin's dictum, using "ichor". Nothing could happen and it would go nowhere. And, as dictated by the basic setup, I had no idea what any of the other authors were doing. I am sorry to report that it was impossible. Conflict and character insisted upon appearing. People kept doing things. I did manage to make Bruc I am the author of Chapter I did manage to make Bruce an Asian American, which means that he is a white man only about 80 percent of the time and black the other 15 percent.

But alas! Sorry, everybody! We will do worse next time. View 1 comment. Dec 12, Teo rated it really liked it. Before you dismiss me as some crazy person, read on. In , a group of science fiction and fantasy authors decided to expose a supposedly traditional publishing house, PublishAmerica, to actually being a vanity press. Oh, boy, and what a beautiful mess it is! To just give you a vague idea of how this looks like: there are 41 chapters, out which one is missing, two recount the same event, but in a totally different way, two chapters are identical copies of each other, two different chapters share the same chapter number and one was written by a computer program using words from all the previous chapters.

All the females are gorgeous, with perfect measures, no matter of their age. The same goes for all the males. This has more sex and sleaze than some porno films.

On top of that, characters change appearances and relationships from chapter to chapter. Bruce Lucent, the famous software developer and one of the central characters, is a lean — you could say ordinary — man.

Then he becomes sort of chubby, and in the next instance — he has rock-hard abs, and even rips one of his stitches courtesy of an injury with his raging libido. As for the quality of writing, the idea was to do it as badly as possible. There are constant grammar errors, inconsistent formatting, and so on. Other than that, the writing is pure trash. Not once it had me almost in stitches. Some of the sentences are pure comedy gold. Like: A thigh-length black skirt covered her voluptuous chest and buttocks.

Below the perfect hem of the dress, her legs reached exactly to the floor. Or the conversations: "How horrid! But I face the horrid every day, Miss Stevens. Venice] "How do you do it? Oh, and if you wonder what had happened to the manuscript, if it got accepted by PublishAmerica — it did. Afterwards, the novel got published for real, by a print-on-demand publisher, Lulu, under the pseudonym Travis Tea.

The original manuscript is available for free download in PDF format here. Highly recommended, for laughs. Put shortly, this is a masterpiece. This prompted said SF and fantasy authors to wage a little war against PublishAmerica. A group of about 30 SF and fantasy authors got together to Put shortly, this is a masterpiece. For those who don't know - as I didn't when I first embarked on this splendiferous journey of discovery - a vanity press is a publishing house that earns money by accepting payments from authors and not by selling books.

This means that, as long as the author pays to have their book published - irrespective of the actual quality of the book - the publisher makes money. This is what PublishAmerica vehemently defended against, saying they only accepted "high quality manuscript for publication". So the group of authors got together on their quest. They each wrote a single chapter of the book, without having any idea on the overall plot of the story. They had a pool of characters, but these characters frequently changed appearance, race, occupation and on occasion even gender throughout the book.

The book is riddled with spelling mistakes and its stylistic quality is One chapter is missing, one chapter is completely written by a computer program and two chapters are identical 4 and I swear this is a masterpiece. He, he had done "Tricks are ears. It wasn't until the authors went public with the whole travesty Travis Tea :D that the publisher pulled back on the offer. Well-deserved 5 stars from me.

Jul 22, Jamie rated it it was amazing. I have read many mystery novels in my time, but few as engaging as Atlanta Nights. Very few novels are able to reach its depth of character.

The novel concerns the death of Henry Archer, a multimillionaire businessman. Even when dead, he remains a force over everyone who met him, like his spirit just won't go away. Most of the book details the lives of the people who knew him and how they cope with his death, but there always seems to be something sinister lurking in the background.

A brief plot I have read many mystery novels in my time, but few as engaging as Atlanta Nights. A brief plot summary: Henry Archer was in a car accident with the protagonist, Bruce Lucent, who struggles to recover his memory of the accident.

Or was it an accident? Meanwhile Bruce has to take care of his software company, while also dealing with the many women in his life. Bruce's character is well realised, and his struggles with dealing with his newfound disability as he tries to manage everything in his life are extremely realistic. Most of the other suspects are well drawn, and Travis Tea does a good job in diverting suspicion between them. By the end it seems that anyone could have helped the accident along: One of the patrons of the elegant Polo Club who may not have liked him as much as they say, businessmen who want to buy Henry's company, even Henry's lovely wife who has come into considerable fortune.

I would criticize Steven Suffern as being a rather flat character though, despite Tea's efforts I doubt anyone reasonably suspected him. The solution to the mystery was considered controversial when the book was first released, and is still hotly debated among mystery lovers.

I personally love it. It's very well clued; each chapter points conclusively to the true murderer and yet I don't think many people will manage to solve it. I won't go into any spoilers, but suffice to say that the wrong person is arrested, there are mental breakdowns and everyone is holding a dark secret to form a web of lies that only detective Andrew Venice can unravel. I've focused mainly on the mystery elements, but the rest of it works well too.

The author has obviously done a lot of research into how a business runs, and these scenes fly off the page. Tea also clearly knows how to write a good romance.

Broken hearts are everywhere by the end, but you still manage to feel happy for the people who manage to live happily ever after. In short, Atlanta Nights is a wonderful mystery which will please everyone; I would not hesitate to call it an unparalleled masterpiece of our time.

Jul 28, Christopher rated it really liked it. Atlanta Knights is a book. With a storie. When you've finished, you won't believe what you just read. Mar 17, Luke Harrington rated it really liked it. It, uh, delivers exactly what it promises. It's a really, really terrible book. Shelves: humor. Oh how I love this book. Don't get me wrong, I like good books, good stories, characters that are well thought out, plots that are well thought through.

Sometimes though you want something different. Very different in this case. Now it is better written than many stories on Wattpad or Fanfiction. The authors are just to good to actually write horrible. But instead of terrible written by utter beginners and hacks this is terrible written by good authors.

A refreshing difference as this book g Oh how I love this book. A refreshing difference as this book goes places few go. It takes a number of times reading just to pick up all the mistakes. Like re-watching that movie just to pick up all the little hints and pokes. Not every chapter is bile-ish greatness but there are a few that are very very badly written in such a way that it allures you.

Take Chapter 10, I love that chapter, it is full of flaws yet you so easily read over them. This doesn't just abuses adjectives, this doesn't just tortures consistency, this doesn't just makes you scared to read it at first. Oh no, this dares to go worse yet it is written in pretty decent if utterly wrong English. Chapter 10 truly is the more sophisticated version of Eye of Argon. And for those who studied English, literature or just have an interresting in those it is truly a wonder to behold.

Try to play the game spot the consistency error, what tense are we in, what the hell does this sentence even means?

And that is just one chapter. Every writer has put his or her own spin of terrible unto it. Some are closer to the usual fanfiction. Other times it is hilariously wrong yet enticing you to read more. And yes the background story. The whole, this is a sting, written to be bad. But you can learn so much from this. There is no way you read this story and don't laugh. So highly suggested to everybody who needs a laugh.

And even more highly suggested to those who study English or English Literature. And for whoever wants to become a writer, oh you'll love this. May 08, Emma rated it really liked it. Usually stuff that's purposefully bad fails and sucks but this book pulls off some fun tricks.

It was written to fuck over a publisher over everything else so it never tries to get clever, it's just earnestly bad. Every chapter is poorly written in its own unique way so the book never wears out its welcome and stays really entertaining throughout. Apr 02, Ashley Carmichael rated it really liked it. This was hideously genius. God bless my student for recommending it to me because it truly was a beautiful hot mess.

An audacious tale of sex, romance, money and power that will not fail to amaze you and leave you quivering with emotion. Jun 05, Anthony Sementilli rated it really liked it. Okay, this gets a special review because it wasn't reallyyyyy a book haha.

I know the story, and if you are reading this, then you probably know it, too. Give it a read. I wanted to support the writers in their effort, and I'm glad I did, because it was a good cause for the benefit of all writers.

I was hoping it would be a great "how to not" manual, but, sadly for PublishAmerica, it was so poorly done that a monkey would know it's not well made! That being said, as bad as it is, its hysterical, wh Okay, this gets a special review because it wasn't reallyyyyy a book haha.

That being said, as bad as it is, its hysterical, which is the only reason why people should read it. There are bombastic lines here and there that make you laugh out loud. I am dismayed to say that I didn't finish it.

Pure humor novels often bore me if they are long. This has some meat to it, and I started skimming. The story does suck, but it was designed to, so I don't blame the writers. Alas, I wasn't able to finish it, but please check it out if you are a writer!

But it deserves every star and probably more Jul 09, Sarah LeFay rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites , oh-john-ringo-no , so-bad-its-good.

Lester Maddox announced that neither he nor any agency of state government would condone the fact that many Atlanta night club operators were selling whiskey after midnight on Saturday night.

He was adamant the group had to spread beyond Atlanta , to include all of Georgia. He saw the need to elect gay and lesbian officials, to attack prejudice in the system from inside the system itself.
