    A-P, just a comment, but a long screed like that on a screen makes your eyes bleed if you try to read it without spaces between every two or three lines.

    Edit the post, break the text up a bit and a few more people may be able to get through it. Sadly I tried but failed.

    All the best, though.

    Could be good. Depends how it goes on. Need to get it edited when you're finished ("there AK4 7s" should be "their AK47s").

    Well, that synopsis sounds too good to be true. Sexed up a little perhaps? A few 'engineered' encounters with familiar named people? I'm not saying its fiction, but I wonder how much licence the ghost writer had?

    If its legit, I would be very interested. But I got a feeling I was reading the back of an 'Andy Mcliar' novel at some points.

    To be honest, i might well read that, but please, sort out the formatting!
    "What kind of Terrorist are you?"
    "I am a terrifying....Terrorist... Are you scared?"
    "No.."
    "God dammit! Oh, err, i mean Allah dammit..."

    "so where did you train to be a terrorist?"
    "At the Suicide Bomber facility"
    "Oh really? Nice Place?"
    "It was..."
    "Why, what happened"
    "New guy...."

    I don't know if you have thought how you are going to publish but the ideal way to get a book out which doesn't cost anything is Amazon Kindle, I recently published a book called What Churchill Would Do and put a copy on Amazon Kindle. It is really easy to set up, you just need to upload a picture of the front cover and a word document formatted in the style of a book and away you go. You get royalties if anyone downloads a copy and everyone can read a sample to see if they like it before they buy. It is also published in America which has 5 Million Kindle readers. the site is dtp.amazon.com

    Wedge 35: I'm sure you would try to escape if ur kidnapped and sent to a madrassa in Pakistan, and the only home you know is "yes Burnley" Willing is not the reason I was there. However, cheers for you feedback.

    StuartFinley: Many Thanks. Will consider 2 "Kindle" See what my agent advices. Cheers.

    Thanks everyone for reading. Yes it needs formatting..

    Dennis Nielsen invited me for dinner when i was age 19, i cant believe i turned down a free meal, but glad i did.

    strange things do happen. lmao

    I would read the book out of interest to see how you deal with some things (i bet they are not covered in the book lol) but if i felt the book was trying to sell me religion, then i would bin it.
    keep smiling guys
