The Prose Reader
Can you say boring? OK, I know you can. This is pretty standard fair. Nothing new here. Nothing to see. "Just step away people and go about your lives . . . Please!" A blurb from a critique I found on goodreads states that "Prose models ARE INTENDED TO INSPIRE, encouraging improved writing with a partnership with SOME OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF PROFESSIONAL PROSE AVAILABLE today (my CAPS added)." If this is inspirational, best-of prose then I'm checking out. How 'bout standard fair that blends in with the rest of the readers out there. Ho, hum.
