Review: I really like the Barbara Marr stories...and this is a fun addition to the series.
Rating: 5 out of 5

It was short, funny and full of the typical things found in a Marr story, though a bit more fluffy.This one counts as what I refer to as 'a slice of life'.  It's not a full blown tale, but more of a 'I can't believe the kind of day I'm having' sort of thing.If you are familiar with the series, you will find this a lot of fun, but perhaps not as 'filling' as you might like.  If you have never read one of these stories, then this one can give you an idea of the style of writing, but just understand that it might not read as a truly 'stand alone' story.  There was a definite benefit to having familiarity with the characters when reading this.Normally I save the 5 stars for shorter stories to those that stand alone well.  However, when something is part of a well established series and it just 'works' anyway, well it gets the full five anyway.  Just be aware that if you are a newcomer to the series, this might be best thought of as a sample to see if the style suits--and this is a little higher on the silly end of the spectrum.RECOMMENDED (the whole series, even the one with **shudder** monkeys)JTG
