Reviews

[K. Anna Kraft · Rating 1 out of 5]

I've arranged my thoughts into a haiku:

"It's admirable,
A man screws up his whole life
And just doesn't care."

[John Yelverton · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is a rather humorous tale about a pastor who hires a double to perform his menial tasks for him, and the consequences of those actions.

[Catherine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Clever, humorous short story. Much more light and cheerful reading than The Man Without A Country.
