He always looks at someone elses successful work and thinks " I can do that better." That why he tried comedy. Thats what he does with his writing. Even a lot of his tweets arent his original thought.
Anyone with an IQ higher than 70 would have learned from years’ worth of evidence that he, in fact, CANNOT do better.

All jokes aside, this is some seriously awful writing. He gets a little bit of a pass since it is a first draft and he's banging this out quickly, but what a nightmare this would be to edit. You'd basically have to re-write it for him.

Melodramatic one sentence-paragraph opener. Hack. The first full paragraph is absurdly wordy and unnecessarily complex. If he's going for a Dickens vibe, he is failing.

Then you slide into a very confusing paragraph starting with "Marley among them" when it's hard to parse who "them" is. He follows up that fragment of a sentence with a whopper of a run-on sentence that says pretty much nothing because of how much he's cramming into it. Instead, how about "In death, the chains that encumbered poor Jacob were equal in weight to that of the pounds sterling he ruthlessly pursued in life". It's still a garbage thought that didn't need to be said but at least it's breezier to read. This book is a fucken pile of shit.

I got a feeling that's all the work he's going to put in it. He has a track record of pointlessly thick, jumbled prose because that's what he thinks writing should be: a bunch of dusty old big words that no one uses anymore which amount to long empty sentences.
"See, I'm smart, too! I used the word 'encumbered'!"

He is so easy to read. He wants so bad to be admired instead of laughed at.

Just us. And that’s not remotely a joke: it’s stone cold truth. No one else pays much attention to Pat.
Conspiracy theory - that's the point. The book's solely a ploy to subpoena Amazon for the only buyers. I'm sure delusional Jackie buffer-overflowed Pig's brain with a deluge neat-o buzzwords like "op" and "honeypot"until hubris.exe was compromised.

It can work, but there has to be a good idea and a lot of effort put in. Ideally, every scene should have a clear purpose and convey necessary information to the reader as efficiently as possible. Even better, every paragraph and every sentence should have a purpose.

Not Special Boy Pat, though. He just crams words in, refuses to learn how to structure sentences or use punctuation correctly, then goes back to twitter to show everyone what an amazing and brilliant author he is before he finishes anything. Nice pointless word count, stupid.
