Frankly if I were to give a one line review, I would say "Don't waste your time."
Most of the stories in this collection of short stories have one or two laugh-out-loud moments.
Some of the stories are even OK ( The Kugelmass Episode ), just OK.
But a good number of them are just meaningless and incohesive drivel.
You can definitely find many other books much more worthy of your time.
