Here's one that took the cake. While it's fine to say that you've written, for example, a humorous novel, I'm a big believer you should never tell an agent how to feel about your book, ie, "This book will make you howl with laughter." But this person ended their query with "An articulate, clear voiced, well cast, open minded, multi-tiered novel that is stark and believable and yet hauntingly surreal; vividly and yet sublimely sexual; brutally violent and yet tender and empathic; highly technical and yet readable and ethereal; informative and yet blatantly opinionated; alert and funny; satisfying on many levels, to the end… and beyond."
It's so over the top it almost sounds like a joke.
