5.0 out of 5 stars Witty, Intelligent, Humourous.... Aug 28 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Simply put this is what short fiction SHOULD be. Witty to the point tales that explore their themes with an insightful zest. Sheckley is one of the few SF authors who can compare with Bob Shaw for short story writing ability. Loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely witty stories from a master of satire May 29 2003
By E. Martin Olson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This collection, along with IS THAT WHAT PEOPLE DO?, CITIZEN IN SPACE and UNTOUCHED BY HUMAN HANDS, are probably Sheckley's best collections, not including his COLLECTED SHORT STORIES which is the Mudda Lode of Shecklian Lore.

Sheckley's lean and mean plotting, his neurotic, time-running-out characters, and his bold and paradoxical staging of events makes his stories uniquely witty, satisfying and, well, awesome.

Sheckley is the favorite writer of many of your favorite writers. Just ask them. This collection has a stupid title and belies the brilliance within those pages. About two thirds of Sheckley's stories are pure genius and only one third unsuccessful or semi-lame. His percentage is about the same as Bradbury's, and Sheckley and Bradbury both wrote some of the all-time greatest stories in modern fantasy.

I highly recommend this book, along with Sheckley's three classic satirical novels: DIMENSION OF MIRACLES, JOURNEY BEYOND TOMORROW (aka JOURNEY OF JOENES) and MINDSWAP.
