This is a very funny and clever series of short plays. It reminded me in parts of some Woody Allen sketches I have read before. The author's humour is off the wall, and contagious. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to try something different. It is certainly refreshing to read this type of book after mainly reading novels or short stories. Hidden amongst the humour is a keen insight into our world and social problems that affect all of us. The author has a wonderful way of making the darkest subjects entertaining. In this book you will find characters such as the stars of the Wizard of Oz, and dead artists such as Edgar Allan Poe and Vincent Van Gogh. The subjects covered in the short plays are diverse, including: homelessness, robbery, capitalism versus socialism, murder, and sex.A recommended read.
