Fake Reviews for Val’s Fake Book

Lucy and Ethel..."Thevictorian is not a biographer. Sometimes, it seems like she couldn't keep up. If she worked in a candy factory, she'd be fired in no time. She writes like she needs a shot of Vitameatavegamin."

Tina Turner..."This author never does anything nice and easy. I hope Thevictorian didn't leave a good job on the river, working for the man every night and day, to fake-write these fake books full time. We don't need another zero. "

Ike Turner..."Thevictorian will stop fake-writing if she knows what's good for her!" 

Simon and Garfunkel..."This fake book left us feelin' woozy. Slow down, Thevictorian, you move too fast! Val, we're down on our knees, begging you please to stop writing."

The Carpenters..."Rainy days and Mondays and the release of a new Thevictorian fake book always get us down. We've only just begun to wish it was yesterday once more, before this author started fake publishing. Please, Mr. Postman, Thevictorian is no superstar, so stop delivering her fake books."

Captain and Tenille..."Don't ever do that to us one more time, Thevictorian! We write the songs that make the whole world sing, and you fake-write the fake books that make the whole world wish they were in a coma. "

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young..."Teach your children well not to read this fake book. If you can't read the one you love, don't, under any circumstances, read this one that's with you. We think the author was wasted on the way to fake-write this fake book."

Doobie Brothers..."What a fool believes is that takin' it to the streets minute by minute will persuade anybody to read this fake book. Listen to the music, Thevictorian! Your fake writing is like black water! It keeps you runnin' to the bathroom to try and purge yourself of its poison."

The Who..."Who are you, Thevictorian? We have never seen a more disgraceful treatment of a squeeze box! We won't get fooled again into buying one of your fake books!"
