These are stories posing as Yelp reviews. They were posted to Yelp and promptly taken down. Now you can read them here, in book form! They are named after Edmonton restaurants and other locations but you don't have to be from Edmonton to understand what's going on. 14 stories about people who survived fire and being swallowed by a whale and one long date night for you to enjoy.
Here's the Setlist:
West Edmonton Mall MEAT Art Gallery of Alberta Canadian Tire Castle Downs YMCA Earl's Time Out Market- Lisbon Eden's The Bear's Den- Fort Saskatchewan Matrix Hotel Vi's for Pies Cross Cancer Institute The Black Pearl Seafood Bar Edmonton International Airport
A collection of fictionalized Yelp reviews on businesses (mostly) in Edmonton. This is such a fun idea, and it's also well executed. Although each story is very short, the characters seem to take on a life of their own. The overall tone of the collection is ironic, and the comedy is done very well, but there are also a few sad/moving moments as well.
