I did change it but Goodreads takes longer to get its summaries from Amazon I guess

Congrats! Stringing together enough words to constitute a novel is an epic task. You should be proud.

I had a look at the blurb at goodreads and I think you should consider simplifying the language. I had to read the first sentence a few times before I understood it. No good having readers give up even before they open the book.

First please Don't cry I'll hand you my imaginary napkin. Now I got that you have a problem with people Laughing at you. What I do in this case is I make fun of myself and even if they are taking it too far you have to come clean and tell them. Make fun of yourself that's what I do.

P.s- the napkin is infected with the new zombie virus. You are a zombie now.

I didn’t write one story, it’s hundreds of stories that only seemto make sense when you put them together

Self published. It didn’t seem to make sense to put several middlemen between me and an audience when the internet exists. I figured if it it was good enough, it would do well eventually.

Bahaha. Congrats on your book launch OP. Did you self publish or go through a publisher?

Huehuehuehuehue

How’s that?

I do know who Stalin is, and what a gulag is. And I’m also well aware of the indisputable fact that only the funniest people know that you need to say “just kidding” in order to unlock the full potential of comedy. I should know, I have to explain my jokes, and I make people laugh all the time. It used to happen everywhere I go. It still does, but it used to, too. At least now I know they’re laughing with me while I cry, rather than at me.
