Review: Unsettling Satire

"Wheel of Justice" was an interesting short story that reminded me of the films "Idiocracy" and "Running Man." It takes place in a near-future, dystopian American where criminals are entertainingly executed on live T.V. I liked the humor and satire in the story - a nice jibe at modern day America. It was also well written with a cool science fiction flair.The only shortcoming was that the ending was expected - I wanted something else to happen - or a very shocking twist - but the same is true for most short stories I've read. This one is a stand out though, and I'm glad I picked it up. Definitely made me smile.A solid buy for 99cents.
