Two more 5* reviews of 'Manna-X'

Wow, it's all happening, 2 more great reviews for 'Manna-X'. It's FREEEEEEEEEE again tomorrow as there's an interview (I'll send the link as soon as I have it)
I didn't even notice this review on Goodreads...thanks Dave! (now I know who bought it on the 8th :-)

 

Aug 10, 2013 Dave Cantrell rated it 5 of 5 stars

Irreverent, Absurd, Great Fun.

Some of my religious friends might be offended by this book, but only if they lack a sense of humor. I found the book hilarious and at times thought provoking. Its hard to classify the story. It's a bit Sci-Fi, a bit Fantasy, a good dose of Parody and spiced with Silliness. There is a lot of dialog, almost like reading a play at times. On a few occasions I got lost and had to re-read a section because I read too quickly the first time. This isn't a criticism of the author as much as a warning to slow down and enjoy the story. 

 

And this one on Amazon! Thanks, James!

This review is from: Manna-X (Kindle Edition)

As a `non-believer' I must say I rather enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek mocking of God, Moses and the like. I thoroughly enjoyed the author's take on certain `historical' events and must say that it reminded me in a way of `The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ' by Philip Pullman.
Overall, I enjoyed the book very much, and would recommend it highly to those of you who aren't easily offended when it comes to the true nature of their `faith' to give it a go.
The storyline of Graham's search for the manna machine works well and provides a good base for an entertaining read.

 

2 more great reviews (Manna-X & Bethlehem Fiasco)

2 more great reviews, one 5*, one 4* (I know why...) :-)~

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Absurdist Romp From The New Beckett August 24, 2013

By Talleyrand

Format:Kindle Edition

I had a great time with author Dani J Caile's Manna-X and so I was excited to read this. He has done it again! Another highly original absurdist, sideways look at the meaning of life. This time it's the Jesus story - but with hobgoblins. A real feast for the brain, this witty, Monty Pythonesque tale is recommended for erudite readers in need of comic relief. 

 

And on 'Manna-X'...http://www.amazon.com/Manna-X-ebook/dp/B00D94CWF0

This review is from: Manna-X (Paperback)

I was lost, but now I'm found! - neo-plantonic universe versus neo platonic universe, I get it. The object capable of changing the fabric of both physicality and non-physicality; sure, why not? It reads well, like a screen play, without direction and without setting. You know, this would make the foundation of a great 'Doctor Who' mini-series... maybe, we could get David Tenant back to be Reginald? This is said both in reverence and irreverence to Dani J. Caile's quirky book. I have no idea what I'm talking about. Anyway, read the damn book and you may, I think. 

Manna-X is the product of a wonderfully creative and unusual mind.

It's been a busy week or so. 13,000+ blog views (no more 'robot' views, they've stopped...hopefully, haven't had them for months), 3 free promotion days for Manna-X (a surprise from Germany), a collection of new reviews and now...the first review of 3 or 4 for Manna-X, and 1 for Bethlehem Fiasco coming...AND an interview on Monday (with another FREE day for Manna-X)
So here's the first review, it's a 4* but I know why...you'll find it on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and Goodreads.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strangely Addictive, 24 Aug 2013

This review is from: Manna-X (Kindle Edition)

Manna-X is the product of a wonderfully creative and unusual mind. The author takes a "fresh" look at God, religion and spirituality in a satirical romp of quirky-humor, hidden-wisdom and daring fun. I took this with me to the beach and laughed repeatedly. He's invented (or reinvented) some fantasic and off the wall characters. I'll be looking forward to more by Dani Caile. Recommended to anyone with a sense of humor.

Day 3 of 3 'Manna-X' free promotion UPDATE

Got a surprise from Germany (!!). Danke Deutschland!
#207 Kostenfrei in Kindle-Shop 
Nr. 2 in Kindle-Shop > eBooks > Fremdsprachige eBooks > Englische eBooks > Belletristik > Comics
The best on Amazon.com was #2113 and #11 in Lit fiction>Humor (though #3 was possible in another list).

...I have no idea why it's listed as a 'comic'...perhaps it's a translation thing. I hope I don't get tons of reviews from angry Germans saying they thought they'd downloaded a comic...anyway...EXCELLENT! Even got a 'Trilogy' sale (did I say that already?)
Still a few more hours left so I'll update this post if anything happens. Expecting at least 2 reviews and hoping those who downloaded will tell me their honest opinion. 
http://www.amazon.com/Manna-X-ebook/dp/B00D94CWF0
So, the downloads from 3 days of promotion? Well, maybe I won't show the figures (embarrassing? well, triple figures, I'd be very happy to make that many sales...:-)~) Here's where they came from...
Amazon.com - 64%
Amazon.de - 27%
Amazon.co.uk - 7%
Amazon.ca - 2%
Amazon.it - (1 download)
Amazon.in - (1 download)
No one downloaded from France or Spain but perhaps they used .com, like some people in the UK did.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO DOWNLOADED AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE READ...YES, READ IT :-)

Day 2 of 3 'Manna-X' FREE promotion UPDATE

Got a few more downloads, but the best numbers of the day were...
#11 in Literature Fiction > Humor
#2113 in the Kindle Store (free)
If I knew how to work the system, 'Manna-X' would've got in the Top 10, probably...
#6 in Science Fiction & Fantasy > Fantasy > Contemporary (estimated from #2113 rating)
I also got a 'sale' in Germany, the 'Trilogy' (wish I'd updated it now...!)...a book I think I'll take off for a while until I can edit it properly, it has old versions of the 1st 3 books.
Will try to put Taz's picture on Reddit again today (without the imbedded text, as they are now banned).
I'll also tweet a bit, fb a bit and see if I can reach anymore 'milestones'....:-)
Some reviews coming too...
...and 'Dani's Shorts'...
UPDATE: Actually, just found out I would've got #3 in Humor&Entertainment>Humor>Comedy, and #5 in Lit&Fiction>Fantasy>Alternative History!!!!) Fantastic, huh? Will update the system once the promo is over and once I figure it out!

Day 1 of 3 - #11 Literature Fiction Humor

Yes! Just got into triple figures with the downloads of 'Manna-X' and broke the #2500 barrier in ranking (#2359) and got #11 Literature Fiction Humor. I hope that today can get me into the Top 10. Now that would be something.
Looking forward to some reviews, too, any would be good. 2 are coming that I know of.
And just waiting for a foreword for the collection of short stories...here's the cover...

...and I just put this up on twitter...even Tasmanian Devils think it's tasty :-)

FREE promotion ON...Day 1 of 3

You probably guessed it....'Manna-X' is free for 3 days starting now.
I've tweeted, will continue to tweet, fb-ed, gone to a few ebook sites....nothing...
So, please, if you haven't got it yet, take it now :-)
