Topic: review your own book

Setup: It's the future and you have finished your book. It has been revised and polished within an inch of its life and you have actually sold it.  You're holding the contract in your hands.  But, your publisher is asking for something out of the ordinary: a review.

Prompt: Play critic and write a review of your own book. Step outside yourself as "author" and imagine what you'd say about your book if you didn't have the background knowledge that came with writing it.

Share a few of the more clever sentences from your review with your fellow Des Moines writers by posting in the comment section below.  Good luck Des Moines writers!

For more info: This prompt is from my own collection.
