With novels, my reviews tend to max out at 4 as I have only ever gone 5 with my "favorite books ever," but for short stories my standards are different. I am looking for a short read that will be engaging and entertaining in the moment, and the two stories here fit the bill perfectly. Both are hilarious not only on the level of skewering the pretensions of certain genres, but also in the drawing of the characters and situations. Combining those elements is not always easy but Jones does it very well here, mixing bawdy humor and solid story-telling for laughs, with a wink.
