Stephen Elliott is a successful novelist whose books are consistently ranked at four or five stars in their Amazon reviews. The sole exceptions are those reviews posted by his bitter, crazy, abusive father, who makes a point of slamming his son's books with bilious online reviews:
The book has scenes like the one where he kisses the hand of the man who abused him. Most normal people will find this nauseating. The book is for wanna-be masochists who enjoy perversion, and people with strong stomachs. Perhaps that's who the author sees as his audience? The book has little plot, and seems like one vaguely descriptive scene after another. The reader is left with a bad taste in his or her mouth. I hear the author's father is preparing a website to show that his background is totally fabricated. That will be an interesting blog.
