About the Book:
Get ready to enjoy a gut-busting
adventure full of crazy forest animals and hijinks galore. You’ll meet Granny
Hammy, Cocky Doodle, Bloated Goat, and a wide assortment of wacky
characters as they romp around the forest in this ill-conceived (but
humorous!) plot. Watch in horror as the author tries to tie everything together
with an explosive ending that you'll probably see coming ten miles away.
Give Bloated Goat a try
today. What's the worse that could happen?
(The author is not responsible for
your decision to waste money and valuable time on this book and potentially
lose that job promotion you worked so hard for. Or maybe miss your favorite TV
show. I'm sure everyone will understand once you start to explain how you
ignored the birth of your first child because you were too engrossed in the
chapter about the skunk wedding.)
My review:
I confess I’m not really sure what
to say after reading the adventures of Bloated Goat and his friends. The story
of a main character who is busy being carried around and married while in a
not-conscious state while other events and side stories take place probably has
a deeper meaning than me and my bottle of New Glarus on the second try could fathom.
But maybe not. On the other hand, I have a feeling a little neighborhood up
nort probably knows exactly what (and who) Manley Peterson is writing about. Or
at least have fun talking about it at one of those dark little bars with the
way big stuffed fish and deer on the walls and everybody knows your name. Or
your odor.
But once you get to the end and read
the origin of the story, it will make a lot more sense.

My review:
Yep, I recognize a few of those
awkward spam mails too. Some are creepy, some just sad and yes, some downright
funny.
Author Manley Peterson shares some
of the creepier spam emails that got through his filters and that he opened,
but the funniest part is his off the cuff responses (Yes, I will help you bring
that one dollar you found over to America!) (call the police, call the army…don’t
let her take my money!) I think I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets those
creepy send me nude pictures, I like your smile, and you’re my soulmate! Messages.
As Peterson says, this little book
is a good laugh. Probably not for kids.
