We have a wonderful saying in Ireland. I find it comes in very handy in such moments.

Is it wrong that I'm weirdly proud of a one star? :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: Oh, and @Jonny, on the basis we published it together, you do know that means you only get half a star. Because I get the other half. I'm having my share no matter how small.

£1.75. All those drawings in the book are my work. I want to be suitably constipated for it, I mean compensated. Come to think of it, I want 3/4 of that star.

Wow. Where was this? On Amazon you are supposed to be a verified purchaser...

@James Charles. Yes, on Amazon. I've got Amazon on it now. They're looking into it to see if it was a proper purchaser, and who left it. It was left anonymous. If the reviewer had actually bought & read it (and if said person had even 1 brain cell), they'd know it's supposed to be badly written. It's a parody, and we make it clear that it's a pisstake of AI. I'm sure the person is just a troll.
