Well, honey, bombastic literature is like a fancy word for writing that's all show and no substance. Think flowery language, exaggerated claims, and over-the-top expressions that make you roll your eyes. It's basically the literary equivalent of someone who talks a big game but can't back it up. So, if you're looking for examples, just crack open any self-help book promising to change your life in three easy steps.
