This is a "nonsense" book. A bit like Woody Allen, but without his fine word play. The stories are just without interest, the situations dumb. It's just like science fiction. After a while you just can't wait to finish the dull dribble. One bright side to this book, it's only 159 pages long. Recommendation: Go read Woody's "Without Feathers", "Getting Even" and/or "Side Effects". The pleasure will be greater, and the laugh truer.
