Comments on Amazon

One great thing about the Internet is you can rarely tell strictly from the text whether a person is being gut-wrenchingly sincere or devilishly deadpan. Take, for example, this review for the boardbook Guess How Much I Love You:
A minor concern: The characters are Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare. For those of us with mild dyslexia, it is too easy to refer to them as Little Brown Nut-Hair and Big Brown Nut-Hair, which is very different and considerably changes the tone of the story. I accept that this may be my personal problem, and I don't even believe it is appropriate to share it in in this format.

hmmm, the post reminded me of a fellow who, years ago, was frequently arrested in Dawson Creek. Most folks had trouble keeping a straight face when the court clerk called out his name. It was: "Harry Dick". Perhaps he should have changed it to Richard E. Hare.
