 Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to another book review today. We are talking about a book My friend, my friend Wayne Fenland wrote this. It's a scattered little pieces Wayne is a massive supporter of the community and I really feel bad getting to this review This is a negative review. Don't click away going. How could he yet? No Just hang around I feel terrible because this book released ages ago and Wayne is always You know, but he always reads my stuff as soon as damn near as soon as it's published Soon as it's out soon as it's available. He's a patreon of mine. He's a YouTube supporter This this he makes trailers for my books. Just quick stuff with animations on it That that look fantastic. He does this stuff for free He truly is one of one of the very few truly selfless People that I know and I feel like a douchebag. I'm completely honest with you I feel like a douchebag that it took so long to do this but things kept on popping up I could give you excuses all day long instead of that. I'm gonna jump into the review So scattered little pieces is a collection of 100 word stories. Let me read you the description Even though I pretty much just told you everything about it scattered little pieces a collection of 100 word stories of twists and unexpected endings funny sad Poignant shocking and sometimes absurd. You'll want to read them twice Sometimes little things are so much more if you can hear the rain in the background. I apologize I I need to get this video up and recorded and done But I think my favorite part of this is the diversity The how eclectic this collection is it says, you know Funny sad poignant shocking and sometimes absurd I think my favorite stories in here were the absurd and the funny There's a couple shocking ones that I enjoyed. I though the story that stands out the most for me I think it's important to highlight these things because this is going to be completely subjective In fact, I believe a hundred people could read this book and each one of them have a different favorite story I think it's that diverse of a collection It's also that good of a collection my favorite one and the the title skips Completely disappeared from my brain, but it was about the tattoos the tattoo Well, the the woman getting the tattoos and every time the tattooist would touch her arm It would it would she'd she jerk away and you'd get this this line and then what? Ended up happening with that. I like that was a very clever story. It was a very clever way to go with it I had no idea when I started now mind you none of these stories are over a hundred words So you're going to get your payoff very very quickly One thing I will say is I suggest you read this slowly because if anything like me I started reading one after another, you know 10 20 30 at a time and they just kind of started blending in together And I kind of went into zombie mode Because I didn't have any one character to pay attention to what this book is perfect for is a coffee table book or a book That you just have sitting around that you can pick up and read a couple Stories and once you're done with it you pick out your your favorites and you go back Maybe you reread the ones that you didn't understand so far. I've read this book twice I read it when it first came out loved it I read it again to refresh my memory because it's a super quick quick read. You can probably read it in about two hours Well me my slow, but would read it in about ten hours, but total It's it's just all around fun I don't it's a it's a nice little piece of fun that you don't see too much nowadays You don't see drabels. I believe that's what they're called when there are a hundred words or maybe those are fifty words I can't remember, but you don't see too many of those. You don't see too many collections Literally bursting with them. This is over. I think it's over a hundred pages of them. I could be wrong Oh, I did put some some of my favorite ones here in the back My space. I thought that was a very lovely story That one guy I put lol. Oh, I know what this one Yeah, I know what that one was and another bad part about this is that you can't say too much about the stories Because each one either have a twist or you know, if you tell even the plot of the store That is not really too much of a plot But if you tell the you know where we're where we're going or what you're doing or the setup burning of that stuff So I mean back here. I put a trapped So the stories named trapped. I remember that one nice twist I like that one the kicker was the kicker actually made me laugh out loud You know when I put lol in the back of something even when I type lol on Twitter anyway I'm literally laughing, but I'm easy. I laugh at a lot of stuff, but Mary's letter was really sad There there there's gonna be something for everybody in this collection And I don't want to harp too much about it. I have nothing negative to say about it The content is well edited. I think there was one missing question mark the entire time And that's just me being super super nitpicky You're gonna miss you're gonna miss things, but it was it was definitely a question And the question mark was missing so that there's your one criticism if you got to have a criticism there you go But it's it's super fun that the cover is amazing. I'm not sure. Let me see if Wayne made the cover himself Oh, by the way, this is signed and now while we're doing this I'm gonna talk about the giveaway so while I'm looking through this if you guys want to go down there into the Into the doobly-doo and tell me the time that I started talking about the giveaway The just a time that says however many minutes or whatever Down there if you want to tell me Wayne is gonna send you a free cop It's free signed copy of his book all the way all the way from across the pond He lives way over there, but he's gonna mail it to you All you got to do is comment the time signature Down there in the doobly-doo and we're going to to get two copies sent out to you from the author himself Sign seal to deliver, but let me go back here. Yeah cover photo by Wayne Fenlan Copyright is Wayne Fenlan. Let me see if anybody else worked on this is his first edition August 2020 This book came out in August 2020 y'all I feel so bad. I feel anyways The book is for Liz Joe and Katie, but that's my review of scattered little pieces by Wayne Fenlan I'm not gonna say what I would normally say here was I would love to read something longer from Wayne I think Wayne is absolutely perfect at what he did here It is the brevity. It is the the the very clever use of wordplay. It's the economy of words It is that I don't know. There's something special here That I don't think this type of writing wouldn't work in a longer piece Now would I read an entire thousand page novel from Wayne? Of course I would mainly because he's my friend second off Because he can write You know, I'm always I'm always hyper critical of my friends and I'm less so of strangers But Wayne has written a beautiful book. It is something that I will cherish forever, especially since he signed it says 2e And then he he signed it down here You can't see all that because it's bright white paper and it's a bright light up there But anyways, thank you Wayne for sending me the book Thank you for offering to do the giveaway of two copies Especially since you live over there if you get American if you get Americans who win I'm so sorry because it's gonna cost you more to send the book than it would just to buy the book Anyways, but have you read scattered little pieces by Wayne Fenland? Please let me know down there in the doobly-doo whether that you loved it hated it felt mad about it But if you felt any of those any of those ways Let me know in detail so that we can have a discussion but until next time I have any you've been you This has been another book review.
