Fabulous. Funny. My favorite book so far this year.

This is a very light collection, more fun than deep. A lot of the stories are very, very short, adapted from tweetfic, and while I feel that many of these lack some oomph (the shorter something is, the more I expect a punchline), they're all very much good fun.

More than worth the price of admission for the handful of longer short stories that are utterly breathtaking, although most of the book is made up of microfictions.
