Nolte on Miller

Drop on by Big Hollywood and take a look at the mighty John Nolte’s hilarious and spirited defense of John Miller’s exciting historical novel The First Assassin.  Some noobs at a liberal site decided to go over to Amazon and – snort, snort – write nasty reviews of it.  I’m trying to imagine the sort of person who has the time and inclination to do that.  Now I’ve stopped trying.  Anyway, it’s too bad they don’t have the time and inclination to actually read the book:  it’s good!  It’s based on a true story about an assassination attempt on President Lincoln.  My blurb’s on it, so is Vince Flynn’s, so is Brad Thor’s and Robert Ferrigno’s.  So whose opinions should you trust?  Mine and Flynn’s and Thor’s and Ferrigno’s – or the opinions of people who spray Dr. Pepper through their noses when they laugh?

Hope the controversy sells the book.  The sort of irony that would make my day.
