David Arnason: Egotistical Man

Where to begin with this preposterous element of fictional discontent. Any great writer whether it be John Grisham, James Patterson, J.R.R. Tolkein or Stephen King creates a story that attracts the reader. That attraction the reader has to the opening chapter creates immense momentum to propel the reader through the story. Arnason at every chance available pauses the story to give an unecessary description of the story elements present. This abruptly haults all momentum built up by the reader and forces unwantedness upon the book. On a second note, his ridiculous pause to "tell" you whats happening is an insult to the concensus' intelligence that may infact be reading this story and I'm sure they picked up this story by mistake. And then hilariously, he in turn creates a stereotypical account about a romantical occurance between a distraught young woman who is emotionally confused and in turn "Prince Charming" comes flying down the path. He even stated during his write about how he did not want to do that. His attempts to tell you about himself and what he does is a pathetic excuse for sympathy and when a writer trying to make a professional stand in the writing world has to re-assure himself in the middle of his story shows me lack of any writing skills he tries to pose.
