My letter to the publishers

I have written a letter to the publishers of the Order ofthe Phoenix Park to tell them exactly what I think of the book. Here is what I wrote.

Dear Hatchette books Ireland,

I recently bought one of your book. The order of the Phoenix Park by the Twentymajor who is a blogger. I was enjoying the book ad was looking forward to the participation of Damien Rice as he is mentioned on the back of the book and he is one of my favourite singers. I have all his albums and many other recordings.

However I was shocked to discover that he has been protrayed as a figure of ridicule in this so called book and that the depiction of him was not at all positive. How is this possible?! I realise that it is a work of fiction and supposedly a comedy but this is outrageous. Anyone who has listened to his music knows he is not at all like the author Twentymajor makes him out to be.

He would never be involved in anything like is suggested in the book … and I find it very offensive that you would choose to publish this kind of thing.

I demand that you make an apology to Damien Rice fans for publishing this book. You would put up with it if somebody was to write such bad things about you or one of your authors so why should we have to put up with his terrible character assasination of somebody we like and respect?!

I am going to make sure that as many fans of Damien Rice as possible know about this book and will do my best to make sure that none of them make the same mistake as I did and spend good money on it. I would ask for a refund but I know what publishers are like … greedy bastards!

I hope to hear from you and I will wait for your apology which should be made in public. I am disgusted!!

#1 Damien Rice fan
