Don't think this guy's logic is going to pass muster, but may prove amusing

Andrew Brooks is 77% done with The Return of the Incredible Exploding Man
Still getting an odd WTF here and there, but other than that it is sitting better with me... Except that I'm over three quarters into it, and still not much of anything has happened

The Return of the Incredible Exploding Man

Not sure about this one either. The main character keeps thinking everything is "batshite" crazy, & he should run away from all of it, but I'm not seeing it.
If I can't understand the protagonist' viewpoint, how far do I go without it?

Already unsure of this one, but that's just from the author's own introduction

This one is going back on the shelf for now. Ten percent in and too many WTF? Moments as characters actions and thoughts just don't register in the Sane range

I've continued, under the illusion that Egan is having one over here, sort of a lampooning, but things are getting twisted around enough that this is getting irritating

Strange... I remember Bradbury in connection with SF, but I'm not seeing and SF...

Gah!! This has been going along so WELL is every way, but now looks like he's blown out the plot from a confused premise!! He doesn't seem to be able to differentiate emotions & (logical) thought... And who sees EVERY decision, such as whether to eat or not as a CHANGE IN ONE'S IDENTITY??

Started this in conjunction with another Bradbury collection in order to clarify something
