Product Description

Product Description

Join Brian, as he tries to woo the girl that works in the local shop, will passing out face down in super glue while trying to make her a gift hinder his chances of getting her to go out with him?

Will Father Frederick, an alcoholic vicar who has a slight issue with stalking be able to win back the heart of a woman he loved a long time ago?

And will Ethel, who thinks that throwing hard rice instead of confetti in a Bride Groom's face is an acceptable form of sport, be able to catch whichever one of these two losers in love with her trick as they step out of the church on the happy day?

Written entirely in the form of product reviews, we guarantee you’ve never read a book quite like this before. Hilarious and wholly original, The Village Idiot Reviews pokes gentle fun at the more obscure corners of your favourite e-commerce sites – and introduces the most bonkers set of countryside dwellers since The Vicar of Dibley.

**FOREWORD***

Every village has an idiot, we know that, but what if there was a village full of them? It wouldn't be the best place to take a windy walk, would it?

Furthermore, what if all those idiots suddenly found the joys of online shopping and started reviewing everything they brought?

Well, ‘What if’ no more. Here is The Village Idiot Reviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard not to have a chuckle at this lot 23 Oct 2012
By Emma
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
To be honest when I purchased this ebook I honestly thought it was just going to be a load of daft reviews on obscure objects found on the Internet, but I was very surprised at how well this flowed and moved into a story revolving around the characters of a village, without all the dialogue and fillers of a story, if that makes sense.

If you want a story without the faf and gumph of knowing the ins and outs of the characters then is is a great book, well worth the read and the pound that it costs. It's very enjoyable and I would certainly recommend it to others.

Can't wait for the next book :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Premise Expertly Executed 23 Oct 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Pete Sortwell is a good online friend of mine and having read various pieces of his online I was eager to read this first release of his.

It is a very intelligent premise, namely using Amazon reviews to tell the story of village life. Each review tells a little story and either follows on from the previous stories or precedes a later review. The reviews are left by a range of different characters within the village and each of these characters has a unique personality and voice.

I heartily recommend that you join Brian, Denny, Father Frederick and the rest of the gang for a bunch of rib-tickling reviews. You'll laugh, cry and wince your way through this incredibly clever novella.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Laugh Out Loud book. 14 Oct 2012
By Quaser
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a review of The Village Idiot Reviews (A laugh out loud comedy e-book)

This book takes the form of reviews of products available on Amazon.

Although the reviews are meant to be tongue-in-cheek, they all have a link to the relevant Amazon product page, and the review appears there. Naturally, the author makes a point of saying the review itself is fictitious and uses the opportunity to plug his book (and why not?).

The reviews themselves are hilarious, and form a narrative that runs through the whole book. Laugh Out Loud? YES!

A very original concept. The reviews are not repetitive, as Pete Sortwell creates a number of characters to assess each item. These characters themselves are the real stars: Bishop Desmond, Denny, Father Frederick and Ethel to name a few amongst a host of others, all bring their unique 'insight' into everyday products.

I found this a light read, with lots of 'Oh My God!' moments - and, yes, I couldn't resist clicking the link to a number of these products to see if the review was *really* there. They always were.

5 stars for this original concept.

I have never read a book that has been written in this manner.
It is not only original, but so funny.
I like trying to guess who has written the review, and you quickly get to learn who the characters are.
I loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does What It Says On The Tin! 6 April 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
The Village Idiot reviews is a series of Amazon reviews with a difference - the author uses the reviews to tell a story with recurring characters in a made up village. An original idea and genuinely funny and inventive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent ! 26 Mar 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
One of the funniest books I have ever read - was crying with laughter! Very cleverly written - love the way each chapter connects to create a hilarious story . Also a bonus that you can link to amazon for the actual items being reviewed - am going to buy the wood craft house - will stay well away from the glue though ! :) Highly recommend this book !

2.0 out of 5 stars Why was it Written ?
I sure as hell did not laugh out loud, tears of frustration yes, laughs no. An egotistical trip by an egotistical author who is definatly analy retentive.
