"How to Prevent Unicorns from Stealing Your Car and Other Funny Stories" is one riot of a read. Medvedkov is the bearer of all things humorous and entertaining in this light, rolling and ranting collection of comical short stories and flash fiction.This engaging assortment of quirky ingenuity, irony, satire, and wit, is the perfect companion when faced with the tedium of life's obligatory bores, from long flights to lunch breaks to waiting rooms and more.  Medvedkov kicks off the collection with "The Spy Letter," a campy comedy about the not-so-intelligent proceedings of varying governmental "intelligence" agencies and their employees, and then it's on to "How to Set Trends, Five Easy Lessons," a laugh-out-loud, and even ludicrous, how-to guide for trendsetting hopefuls rooted in appropriate mockery and pinpoint sarcasm.With eleven segments in all, Medvedkov has created a comical collection of stories that reflects the often outlandish and ridiculous nature of human behavior among other themes and strategies. The quality of the comedy is well worth the buy and the time.As with all comedy, you will find that some stories appeal more to your humor than others; however, a good laugh can be found in every passage.
