The best way to describe this book is short but sweet. This is probably Christopher's best so far. You'll want to check out more from this Sweet author as he's got nothing but potential.

Sweet as usual brings something brilliant and eerie to life. Solid 4.5!

I loved it, but I am obsessed with Christopher Sweets’ books.
For the price point, this is a great, quick read. I jumped it ahead in my to-read list because I want to get as many stories in as possible during the review local time frame.
I can see the improvement between this book and the books he released last year. Give him another couple of years of writing experience, and you can mark my word that he will be a household name, not just to Atlantic readers.

It’s good, but this story should have more to it. There were so many places where the story could have been beefed up to make it more enjoyable.
The conflict was sudden and just as quickly resolved.

Another gem from Christopher Sweet. Expertly plotted and penned. More Serling than King, this is a short, succinct offering that would not be out of place as a Twilight Zone episode.

Satisfaction Guaranteed!! Definitely Satisfaction Guaranteed when you read this one. Christopher Sweet is becoming one of my favourite authors. I love horror books and he certainly delivers.
This book is short but it is very clever and very entertaining. The old phrase less is more rings true with this short story. The story follows Grace and her orders from Opal. Grace quickly gets more than she bargained for when she takes advantage of Opal's Satisfaction Guaranteed option and, uses their replacement option to better her everyday life. These replacements come at a cost though and Grace discovers Opal has alterior motives.

Met the author and we had a great conversation about books and specifically Japanese fiction!
This was a very entertaining and short read and definitely got me interested to read other books by him!

The book is great, a very clever story with a very interesting ending. It’s certainly gives you something to think about when ordering something from the internet again.
It touches really neatly into human nature and similarly to a concept in the book Scythe, explores the ways humans could be sedated and numbed of all wanting, ultimately to our detriment.
Very neat!!
