No thank you

Is Lolito good? It sounds like a terrible premise but I'm willing to accept an opinion from somebody who has actually bothered to read the book.

Kids like him care more about literary social circles than developing their writing.

Maybe one day he might finally grow the fuck up and take the craft seriously but until then he's a fucking joke and anyone that likes him is a fucking joke.

I keep thinking he's that Ben who wrote The Flame Alphabet which was getting some serious lit hype back in like I don't know when, and so when ever I see the guys name I always look it up to see if it's that guy and that he is still getting heat, but it's not. So I loose interest in both books.

Anyway, Bens uber alles!

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 14 20:01:21 2013 No.4029526 >>4029213 The Flame Alphabet was panned, though. And rightfully so. I don't have anything against Marcus, but the book was bad.
