Hilarious fun for the Fabio fan

Okay, first off it's by Fabio. You can't even begin to think to take it seriously. Picture the "I can't believe it's not butter" model, smiling broadly in a puffy shirt, wind blowing in his face, describing the story to an actual romance author who's writing the book for him (yes, there's another name in the author slot with his). Remember, it's Fabio. So use the appropriate accent. Say things like "I vant to be smarrrt. I vant to play chess on the beach." Its about pirates so remember, "Pirates go Arrr, Matey. but I am smart, so I just say Hello." And yes, the pirates (he's obviously the pirate captain) get drunk on the beach and say "Harrrr" a lot. There is the actual super-sexy phrase of "Climb upon my mast and billow like a sail." in the book, which makes me laugh everytime I think about it. There are no surprise twists or turns. And there is a centerfold picture of the guy himself if you get the 1st ed paperback. This book is a great laugh, fun, light and as complex and dizzyingly clever as the model himself. Remember, It's Fabio!

Truly spectacularific...

When theologians predicted the second coming of Christ, they were talking about Fabio. The Masculine hunk of romance novel covers proves this theory by writing one of the greatest pieces of literature to ever grace paper. This gem in a world of dirty rocks is his book entitled Pirate. How can words even begin to describe the beauty and genius held within these pages? Fabio's grasp of the English language is like the delicate, yet strong and firm grasp a flower petal has on a drop of dew. His ideas and feelings are truly that of a god among men. While reading this book, one gets the idea that Fabio could conquer the world with one fell swoop of his well-muscled and excessively-oiled arms. The plot of the book is true poetry. Fabio proves that he can create incredibly unique and innovative storylines by unexpectedly writing of a heroine pining away for a strapping, dangerous hunk. Never before has any such novel been written. Their love is forbidden, even bordering on incestuous and illegal. Yet the red-hot intensity of the chemistry between them burns hotter than a fire fueled by incredibly flammable items. When the two finally unite in love's golden splendor, the fire erupts into a burning, scorching inferno- not unlike a volcano.If ever a more innovative, unique and intelligent book than Pirate could be written, it would certainly be a sign of the apocalypse. Read this book. Savor this book. Lick the cover of this book. Feel the vibe of Fabio with every tender word. You will fall prey to his manliness...it's only a matter of time.Recommended reading for: those with severe delusional episodes, which include dating and/or someday marrying Fabio.

The Best of His Work
