Pretty good! Had some minor grammatical errors, but the stories were creative and hilarious.

An incredible waste of time - a short story divided into even shorter segments and presented as a so-so book. Lucky I didn't buy it.

What even happened in this book? Usually a fan of giant monster stories, this wasn't up to standard. Received as a gift, won't go out of my way to read the authors other works.

Like Sharknado, but as a very short book.
