Leo Robertson's review

Feb 23, 2016

it was amazing

While there are amazing stories within (Philip Jose Farmer's was my favourite- makes me want to say something corny about Joyce and acid. Then something meta-cutesy about Joyce being Joyce on acid), the real joy is found in the intros and outros. Especially the outros, because a lot of these stories are pretty incomprehensible, and it's cool at the end to have the author say 'I was thinking about ABC so I had to write this story' and you're like 'Ohhhh... You shoulda just said that!'

[If you're wondering why all my reviews are so short recently, all my good sentences and thought-energy are going in my fiction atm (in theory.) Though I also just had a really unsuccessful nap. Lol I know words, though, honest. I have the best words.]

28.76% "The amount of "I have to look up from this book at my surroundings and consider this message in greater depth" that I'm getting from this book is unbelievable! As a result my own creativity's flying! Apart from the number of silly tasks (eg. updating this) I've done to avoid writing anything myself haha!!"

I am not bothered by the short trips as long as they punch a pack (like this one!) :D
