Mostly good

Short stories can be hard to write and get right. You have very limited room. My luck with stories has not been great. I consider myself lucky if half are decent. Decent, not great. I would say that here about two-thirds are great. And maybe a sixth are decent. The rest suck. Which is really great for a short story collection. The stories are unique and have ideas that I've never come across earlier. I'm so tired of the spaceships and space wars. It's been done to death. Even though there were two stories here with aliens, they were fresh and interesting.

Tremendous

Mr. Heaton has outdone himself. Quirky, Whimsical, Thought-Provoking, and Novel. This collection of short-stories will surely bring a smile to your face.

Wow

This is an odd book of wonderful stories. Some of them are touching. Some of them will make you laugh until you can’t breathe. You want to read this book

Very enjoyable

Nice mix of clever stories across a spectrum of genres. Humorous and thoughtful.
Excellent narration.

unexpected hilarious

I picked this buck up on a whim. I don't normally go for comidy books, but I saw it in the science fiction section, listened to the sample and loved both the absurd sample and amazing voice.

truly had lots to offer different people. my personal favorite short story is Re:your timeline infractions. had me bent over laughing at work so hard I had to stop listening and take 5 minutes.

This book has something for everyone in it. I can't wait to read more from this Andrew.
