Please welcome my guest blogger today Martin Lastrapes
Since publishing Inside the Outside in July 2011, I’ve spent a considerable amount of time on
GoodReads. If you’re not aware of it (and why wouldn’t you be?!) it's a social
network for book lovers.
I was a member of GoodReads before I published my novel, so being an official author on the site is super cool. One of the great things about GoodReads is it’s a
place for readers to leave reviews about the books they’ve read.
I’m not sure if other authors (Stephen King, for instance, or Chuck Palahniuk) read their reviews on
GoodReads, but I do.
And, so far, Inside
the Outside has faired
extremely well with readers. In no particular order, I wanted to share the
kind words readers on GoodReads have been saying about my debut novel.
(Side Note: I
truncated some of the longer reviews. You can read them in their entirety by
following the links below).
Joanna wrote:
“I rarely give a 5
star review but this book is original and compelling. I read it in 2 sittings
as I found it hard to get out of my head.”
“One
of the best books I've read all year. Creepy, original, with a tight story and
enviable prose. I plan to read it again, which in today's media clutter, is the
biggest compliment I can bestow upon it. It's just that good.”
“Fantastic
book. I was completely captivated; I'm still thinking about it days later.”
“This
book had me on the verge of tears, laughter, and terror, sometimes at the same
time.”
“I
totally loved this book. It was hard to read at times imaging what was laid out
about cannibalism. Made me cry and laugh. I want more, more of the same twisted
story but also more of Martin Lastrapes amazing imagination and his talented
writing.”
“5
STARS AMAZING! I absolutely LOVE Inside the Outside by Martin
Lastrapes. I strongly recommend everybody read this book. After reading the
first few pages, I already knew I'd be HOOKED. YOU MUST READ THIS! Happy, Sad,
Intense, Creepy...YES, YES, YES!”
To those readers who read the book, enjoyed it, and thought enough
of it to take a little time out of their day to write a kind review, I can’t
tell you how much I appreciate it.
For those readers who read and enjoyed the book, but didn’t leave
a review on GoodReads, I appreciate you too.
And for anybody who hated the book, but chose not to review it,
I appreciate you the most!
