Initially, I didn't quite know what I was getting into. The first 20 pages or so were pretty entertaining. Then it just started to get weird and go a bit off the rails. So I looked up a few things about it and came away with this summary: "nothing happens, it's pretty dumb, but there are some real gems in the prose."
My reading experience could not mirror that summary more exactly. I really had to push myself to get through the pages. I thought this one would be easy because it's so short, but the total lack of plot made it a real slog. But every now and then I would either burst out laughing or come across a passage that was so spot-on that I had to go back and read it aloud to S.
Despite that, I don't expect I will be reading any of the other books in the series.
