This tells rather than shows, and what it tells is depressing. Satire or not, I didn't find this enjoyable, and I do not recommend it.

Crazy Train!

What a wild ride, it was nothing like I expected. Once you started though, you didn't want to get off the crazy train. The lines between reality and fantasy were very blurred. And you wanted to keep reading to find out what happens. It was an easy read that went by really quickly. I recommend this for a entertaining read.
