Review: Too funny and strangely addictive.

Well-Behaved, Polite Vampire And Other Funny Stories by Oleg Medvedkov (another in his wonderful Lunch Break Funnies, Humor Book Series) is filled with true characters you may or may not ever want to meet. I'm talking about, space rabbits, the Queen, lunatics of various sorts, a donkey, philosophically unfulfilled strangers who behave eccentrically, a pervy cat, an out-of-touch radio host, and at least one dead woman (I won't even mention the hamster.)Medvedkov's humor is authentic. That is to say, you haven't read anything like his work. It takes a very bright (and slightly off-kilter) mind to come up with this stuff. I've read and loved several of his other humor books (planning on reading them all) but my secret hope is that he is working on a novel, because his characters are too good to confine to the short skits he creates for them, they need room to get on real trouble.But it's not just the characters . . . it's the dialogue. The absurd and bizarre (yes it takes both words to describe his words) conversations between the characters define who they but those interchanges also keep our heads spinning with wacky realizations and abundant chuckles. Wonderful, weird fun! Highly recommended. 5-stars.
