Dear OCUK,
As you know, I took part in the Mongol Rally, and raised £15,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. I blogged from the road, had lots of call to turn it into a book, so I did. It's been done about 6 months, and a rather famous author had agreed to do the foreword - he'd read the first half, but his own work being released and global travels meant he hasn't finished it, and doesn't know when he will.
So, I come to you. You know the short, 1 line reviews on the back of so many books? aka the blurb?
"Gripping.. couldn't put it down..." New York Times
that sort of thing. I've given up waiting for the real thing, so I was wondering if any of you would like to "one line" review my book? I'm moving away from seriousness, and would like to make it much more amusing.
The funniest 5 get published on the back cover, the next 10 funniest get published inside the book.
You can credit them to your own name/username, and a publication of your imagination.

Free copy of the book is here: http://scillymission.com/book/printreadynopictures.pdf if you wanted to actually read some before posting something.
(I'll offer the full version for free on OCUK once it's done anyway)
