Been a while since I read this whopper of a collection, but from what I recall while the writing was snappy and the absurdities very inventive and creative, the stories themselves were more like collectives of vignettes and funny anecdotes than a deep, evolving plot intended to challenge the cast. By the time it was wrapped up, everything and everyone was worn out and tired, as was I. Probably sticking to the first 1-3 of this series is the sweet spot where everything is new, interesting, and you realize the cast might have a chance to evolve. Afterwards, it goes downhill.
