Review: A little too short...needs more.

I really like the Mercury books and I enjoyed Mercury Begins (the first short story) so I didn't have a problem getting this one since I thought another short story would be good. It was funny, but it was so short that it didn't have the dialogue that makes the other Mercury books so funny. Mercury begins is also very short but it's over twice as long as this story. This gives time for a lot of good, witty dialogue. There just isn't enough here - it's like one of the short chapters from a full-length Mercury book got cut out. I enjoyed it, but it needed more to be up to the level of his other books.
