About This Quote

The Real-World was a sprawling mess of a book in need of a good editor. To call the book's prose unedited would be an understatement. It is so full of grammatical and spelling mistakes and so full of inaccuracies that you wonder if the author actually read it himself. At times, it reads like a novel that has been rewritten dozens of times by different people. The best thing about this quote is that it is true, even though you would never want to admit it.
