If you checked out today’s New York Times Book Review section, you’ll see that FREE made the list in its first week of eligibility. It’s #12, tied for #11 (that’s what that little asterisk means).
We expect it to dip in its second week due to the free versions of the book cannibalizing sales, then stay strong longer than usual as the free offers expire and word of mouth from all the free readers turns into sales. So far in the first two weeks the book was downloaded, in one digital form or another between 200,000 and 300,000 times (we’re still compiling stats). That’s a lot. Now we’ll find out what it means.
I now read newspapers (but do not directly buy) for a different reason to look for the angle and I also mindful of the spin that the press now put to stories to keep us in fear and that the Government of the day are there to protect us. Even though it is them that is creating the fairy tale in the first place.
Keep up the good work I am telling every one to read your book.

This is truly a great book. I heard about it on NPR actually. It's great that it's a NY Times bestseller... and it's free!

Chris,
I'm taking the plunge! My book is available on Amazon, but I'm also giving it away as a free PDF on my website.
Let's see if this works!

Much Congrats! Life resembles art, and vice versa. The values of the book in practice, become the success of the book! Cool.

Congratulations Chris!
Seth - I think you mean "tied with #11" which is about 100 places higher than me...
You are thousands of places higher than my first and millions on my second! :)

you made the fatal mistake of taking the advice of a review written by an American. You can't expect the US to produce high quality novels.
