So John Patrick Lowrie, otherwise known as our beloved Mr. Mundy, [b]The Sniper[/b], [url='http://www.amazon.com/Dancing-Eternity-John-Patrick-Lowrie/dp/1603818103/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1?tag=vglnk-c21-20%22']has a book out[/url]. The review section may be of some interest. Some choice examples: [quote=Scout]It was a good book, don't get me wrong. I don't normally read y'know, because I'm busy busting heads and capping points, but when I found out my friend Sniper wrote a book, I had to get it. I give it 4 stars. Would have been 5 if it had come with a hat.[/quote] [quote=Medic]Zese papers vere vell done. Zere vas not enough blood in most parts, but as a man of science, I vish to say danke kamerad for your good verk. Gesundheit, Medic If anyone reading zis vould like a second opinion you are also ugly.[/quote] via, [url='http://kotaku.com/5843143/sniper-voice-actors-book-picks-up-plugs-from-team-fortress-2-reviewers']Kotaku[/url]
[quote=Heavy] 5 out of 5 stars Even if cannot read, you will like. Book is heavy so I throw at spy.

[QUOTE]''This website will teach you how to turn every single one of Dancing With Eternity's 417 (probably sex-filled) pages into an awesome origami ninja hat.'' Tf2 blog[/QUOTE] That made me laugh alot.
[QUOTE=Scarabix;32437553][URL="http://teamfortress.com/?tab=news"]Right, look. It really is.[/URL][/QUOTE] :suicide: Well this is awkward.
Yay for free publicity? Oh no wait there it is.
Ooh, he's replied! [quote]Yeah, ach du lieber, Eisenstein, to you, too, mate! You wankers crack me up with your 'jawol' this and your 've hef vays of making you' that and your 'turn your head und KOFF'. What you have, Medic, is what they call a bedside manner. That's what it is, a bedside manner. You have a way of putting people at their ease. It's your, I don't know, I guess you'd call it 'warmth'. That's it, your 'warmth'. People come to you feeling scared, fragile and alone, and after five minutes listenin' to your voice they're FREAKING TERRIFIED, MATE! By the bye, I've got this weird thing on me bum that I'd like you to take a look at. It's probably nothin, but, you know, better safe than sorry.[/quote]
[QUOTE=tepholman;32437866]Ooh, he's replied![/QUOTE]Looks like he made reply's to most of the classes in character, except for the pyro one. Then again I guess it could be in character.
[QUOTE=mooman1080;32437917]Looks like he made reply's to most of the classes in character, except for the pyro one. Then again I guess it could be in character.[/QUOTE] I imagine most the classes frown upon the pyro. Sniper says he's a lunatic in one of his domination lines or something.
I love those reviews. [img]http://i.imgur.com/CBUtE.png[/img]
The best thing about this is, even if the novel isn't any good, it's still going to sell well because of the TF2 publicity. By the way, is it any good? I've been hearing positive feedback, and I was thinking of getting it. Anyone here read it who can tell me?

Oh wait SAXTON HALE reviewed. Also [quote=Spy] ...that when I find the IMBECILE who dared to throw this book at me, the last thing he will see in his wretched and short life is the blade of my knife BURSTING OUT OF HIS CHEST! Sincerely, The Spy [/quote]

[QUOTE=t h e;32437344]5 out of 5 stars Even if cannot read, you will like. Book is heavy so I throw at spy. He will never ever walk again.[/QUOTE] This made my day.
I find that heavy quote completely ironic since he has a phd in russian literature.
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;32440272]I find that heavy quote completely ironic since he has a phd in russian literature.[/QUOTE] But this is an English book, perhaps.
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;32440272]I find that heavy quote completely ironic since he has a phd in russian literature.[/QUOTE] It's not saying the Heavy can't read, it's saying the book has many functions for the non-readers out there.
[quote=John Patrick Lowrie][quote=Engineer "Dell Conagher"]Now I ain't too keen on these mumbo-jumbo science-fiction books on account of them being impractical in application. But let's just say I have this fine piece of literature tucked away in my toolbox. A mighty fine read indeed. Regards, Engineer[/quote] You always were the smart one, Dell. I can't tell you how much it means to me that you appreciate my literary efforts. I always say if you can reach just one person, even a person who likes big wrenches 'n' all, then you've made a difference. It's particularly gratifying that you like my book because it is science-fiction, and I know you don't go in for that kind a stuff, preferrin' to construct down to earth, practical, non-science-fictiony things like health dispensers 'n teleporters fer yer mates. Yer a chum, Dell! And your great, big, yellow hardhat is so, well, visible. all the best! your pal, The Sniper[/quote] That's my favorite quote from the comments :v:

I love Lowrie's comments on his reviews. I need to buy this book. [editline]23rd September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=HyperTails;32439818][img]http://i.imgur.com/nbADr.png[/img] Amazing[/QUOTE] Oh God this is brilliant
According to one of the creator's comments, he might be working on an audioclip of his Sniper Voice reading the entire book. Now that I would pay for.
[QUOTE=HyperTails;32441172]According to one of the creator's comments, he might be working on an audioclip of his Sniper Voice reading the entire book. Now that I would pay for.[/QUOTE] All of my money.
[quote=The Administrator]It is absolutely necessary that all mercenarial employees read this missive at once. I cannot stress enough the importance of this intelligence to our mission, and to me personally. Do not throw it at the enemy. Read it, then use its knowledge to COMPLETE THE MISSION. Do NOT fail me again. You have found this informative. [/quote]
Now all we need is an official TF2 novel.
I demand a sniper misc slot that replaces the bullets in sniper's front pocket with this book.
