A. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told is truly my favorite story these days. It is full of nail-biting suspense from beginning to end. There is a surprise ending that left me staggered. It is about the beautiful Terra Peoples and the man who loved her. Terra is the queen of the white ghetto. You would have to click on this book’s icon to understand what I’m talking about. Terra is riot unto herself, but the unusual man who loves her is a mystery, a deep, profound mystery. There is a lot of humor in this story, laugh out loud humor. Anyway, I’m recommending this one to all my friends. Again, you would have to click on the icon to understand what I’m talking about.
B. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told is a whopping surprise of a story!! Wow! I thought it was just some comedy, but fraught with mystery, suspense, and romance(that males and females both enjoy) it was easily the most powerful entertainment experience of this year for me. Wow! Wow! and Wow again! This is the story of the strange queen of the white ghetto, and if you don’t know about the white ghetto, you have got to click the icon to find out. Is it possible for her to find love? Well, under the circumstances, one would doubt it. This girl has problems, but do not despair, there is a man for her. I don’t want to give anything away– especially the profound and amazing surprise ending. I’m just recommending that everyone click on its icon.
C. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told is my favorite book of late. It is actually something way beyond what it would appear. While it is humorous (very!) it is a profound love story– something that women AND men will enjoy. It is about a man whose love is unrequited. It is about the queen of the trailer park, the ever entertaining, Terra Peoples. You get a real sense of the white ghetto while reading this book– you are there to feel the pain but not to wallow in it. The book has more triumph than tragedy. You see the sights– the trailers up on blocks, the muddy feet children, the b-b-q stands, the radios blaring. This book is powerful on so many levels. I love it, truly love it. I am telling all my friends to click the icon for this one.
D. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told shook me up completely. I couldn’t catch my breath as I got into the story. It is about the kindest, most decent man I think I have ever encountered in popular literature. He is extreme, but he is believable. And SHE, oh my gosh, she is the devil. I don’t what else to call her. With her lying smile and beautiful blue eyes, she’s the devil from the time she is a child. Why would a guy like him love a monster like her? She’s downright funny she’s so bad. But hey, who am I to judge? This story is just profound.
If you know what it’s like to live in a trailer or if you would like to know (and trust me, you really need to know) this is a must read. We’re all more alike than unalike.
E. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told is about the meanest, cruelest, most vile, beautiful, blue-eyed, blonde you ever met. Terra People’s heart is so hard a jackhammer couldn’t break into it. But one thing (and ONLY one) did eventually get into her heart. In what has to one of the greatest surprise endings in all of human literature, Benny Carpenter, the fellow who just can’t keep himself from loving her manages to… well, I can’t give it away. It has to be the most emotionally satisfying ending I’ve ever read, though. Truly worth. I laughed. I cried. I told friends.
F. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told is my favorite book at this time. It is a highly imaginative story set on the wrong side of town. I was shocked but overwhelmed with the hopefuly message contained therein. The main character is a beautiful blonde who is used to getting her way. She has a hard heart and is remorseless in her cruelty. However, there is one man who may have what it takes to wake her up to love. This is a remarkable story, and the icon is definitely one to click.
G. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told is an enormously fun, humorous, at times thrilling account of love in the white ghetto. I’m glad I clicked it. It is the story of Terra Peoples, the most beautiful girl in the trailer park and Benny Carpenter, the guy who had the misfortune of falling for her. Terra is a terror. She’s hard to deal with, hard to know, impossible to get close to. She could cusse, drink and fight by the time she was four. Benny, on the other hand, is the living embodiment of goodness. He’s a good fellow with a kind heart. What could possibly bring these two together? As it turns out, one and only one thing. That is the surprise ending. Againt, definitely worth clicking on the icon.
H. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told is just a darned funny title. It is also an excellent book that is NOT trashy at all. Quite the opposite. It is a really classy story set in the white ghetto. Despite the hardships, the characters do not complain or whine. The love story is the main thing. The meanest gal in the park, the infamous Terra Peoples, who also happens to be stunningly beautiful from head to to has a heart as cold and dead as ice, but there is one thing that will wake her emotions, one and only one thing. And the nicest guy in the trailer park happens to have it. As I read, I felt like I was there–participating in the story, seeing life from the inside of the trailer park, experiencing it. Definitely good to click its icon.
I. I’m Pretty picky about what I read so you can imagine how shocked I was when I gave The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told a try, got hooked on the first page and could not put it down. If you want to be shocking, love someone the way the main male character loved the main female character in this story– this has to be the most amazing story I’ve ever read. Dang, it just made me feel so alive for a change. I still get teary eyed every time I think about it. Anyway, I could go on for some time. Just do yourself a favor and check it out.
J. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told completely shook me up as I read it. It was like I was lifted off the ground and transported to the story setting. It takes place in trailer parks and post-industrial age schools, mostly. It is about a “white trash” boy who falls in love with a “white trash” girl. Being a white trash girl, she is devious and difficult. She’s impossible. One and only one thing ever turns her around, but you will not see it coming. This story is magical really– a true gem. Definitely worth clicking.
K. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told lives up to its humorous title in a way you would not expect. It is a very suspenseful story about pure love– something men may enjoy as much or even more than women. I freaking love this book. It is about a beautiful blonde, blue-eyed, white-trash girl and the man who loves her. She is the most spiteful, dishonest, hard hearted female in the trailer park. He is all that is good and kind in the world. He finally manages to beat her at her own game– but only in a way you would NOT expect. Laugh out loud funny meets tear jerker– great read. Definitely worth clicking.
L. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told is NOT a trashy romance. It is not trashy in any sense of the word. In fact, it may be the purest and best love story I have ever read. It is about an “evil” woman named Terra Peoples. She is as mean as a snake by the time she is five years old. Benny Carpenter, a white trash boy, has the (mis)fortune of falling in love with her when they are in kindergarten. She thinks he’s a fool and will not let him get anywhere near her. But he keeps on loving her until everyone is convinced he is a fool. There is a surprise ending to this story that just really blew me away– so surprising, so shocking I never saw it coming. Just a great, heartfelt story. Glad I clicked its icon.
M. There’s nothing trashy about The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told. It’s a classy book about the purest form of love from beginning to end. Ellis brings his characters vividly to life. For instance, there is Angel Bonsecour, the narrator. She’s a single gal and a nurse, one who has “the inside” tract on what’s happening in the neighborhood. There’s Benny Carpenter, the boy who loves too deeply for his own good. Through him we understand the pleasures that only a white trash boy experiences. Do you know what it’s like to sleep in a small tin trailer when it is raining? There’s probably not a more relaxing sound in all the world. And of course there’s Terra Peoples, the story’s main character, the demented dancer that Benny loves endlessly. Can anything on earth penetrate this evil woman’s heart?
N. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told is the funniest, most lovable book I have read in ages! It is about life in the white ghetto. The main characters grow up hard, and if you’ve ever lived in that part of town, you know what it’s like. The story doesn’t dwell on the pain, however. It is what it says it is– a great love story. Be very sure to click the icon. The main female character is as hard as nails, but there may be one thing that can reach her. Does the main male character have what it takes?
O. The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told is the most amazing book I have read this year. In a way that touched my emotions and made me feel great in the end, the story was captivating, absolutely captivating. It held my attention. I was very curious about the intriguing title, and so I clicked it.
It is about life in the “white ghetto,” but more importantly, it is about a very tender but strong love.
btw, you know why I’ve put up this post? Because “libel” isn’t “libel” when you’re telling the truth.
So. Some guy posts pseudonymous reviews for his novel on Amazon. I blog about it and say I think it’s a dumb idea.
Now he’s all upset because my post is there for anyone to find.
And he hasn’t even stopped doing it!
I’m supposed to feel sorry for him? I’m supposed to believe people are lying about him?
Incredible.
Totally a waste of my time too! But what can I say. I don’t like being bullied.
