(I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review)The first thing that struck me about this book was the funny title. The book is certainly different to most of the novels I read today.  It isn't the usual easy flowing book that authors put together. As a consequence, I can imagine it as a book that filmmakers would love, since quite a lot of creativity and imagination is needed. For example, the book has a lot of short stories which start very differently and end abruptly.As I  read through the book, I could imagine many of the scenes playing out in front of me. For this, the author deserves praise. There are elements of surprise in the stories, and some stories shone out stronger than others.Yet others some of the stories were weaker, and this is where I felt it fell a little short.As is the case with a lot of books that are a collection of stories,  it is good in parts, and not so great in others. I do think there are a few golden nuggets in this collection, so it will reward many a reader.
