4.0 out of 5 stars Par for the course. Feb 12 2002
By James Yanni
Format:Paperback
This is the third of, at this point, five collections of entries to the annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction contest, a contest in which the goal is to write the worst possible opening sentence to the worst of all possible novels.

Like all of the others of its kind, this book is tremendously enjoyable for those who find amusement in the intentional lampooning of bad writing. I must say that I found it the least amusing of the lot, but that still leaves it a marvellously funny romp. Well worth the effort of tracking down a copy.

By "thisnicknameisnottaken"
Format:Paperback
Like all of the Dark and Stormy Night series, this is a collection of entries from a contest in which the aim is to write the worst opening sentence for a book.

Some rely on groanworthy puns, some on mixed metaphors, some on convoluted, endless sentences. The best ones are just bizarre. My favourite: "Ernest Hemingway had been his hero ever since he was belched out of his mother's angry, belligerent womb."
