Well this is the first "marmite" book I have ever read, you either love it or hate it. I loved it. Chuck has done everything he can think of to offend everybody and looking at various reviews of this book I think he has done a damned fine job.

I'm not a fan of short stories but the way things are weaved together in this book it kept me interested and hunting for links to previous stories.

I also learnt quite a bit whilst reading this and was constantly checking facts on my phone.

A big thanks to Guy Portman for recommending this book to me.
