Well from the cover made up of a photo of a couple of hot dogs, which has been cut and paste onto a basic blank computer art image with the title and authors name typed on, you knew straight away this was self published piece that not a lot of time was put into it and no one else is obviously involved in editing or getting it to Kindle.  But not all self published stories are terrible, there are some brilliant undiscovered authors who have written some great stuff.  At the time of this review this was a free download so I thought I'd give it a go. I'm glad I didn't pay money for it.I imagine this is written by some kid in a high school English class or something where he gets in trouble or something and the teacher demands what are you going to write about Jeffery.  Oh hot dogs he replies thinking of his lunch or trying to get a laugh. You're going to write a whole story about hot dogs.  Yeah sure am, Jeffrey replied, and set out to prove he could.  Unfortunately he failed.No Free Lunches just doesn't go anywhere, nothing happens, it's just a bunch of scientists annoyed that they have been called to this room, away from their important research on AIDs, Cancer and the like to discuss hot dogs and how to lessen the rate of little kids choking on them.  None of them want to be there but some are enjoying the free lunch provided.  That's it that's the whole story, nothing happens at the conference, no one kills anyone, no one sleeps with anyone else, no one cracks a witty one liner, no one really does anything.Plus there's obviously been no editing, even by the kid's teacher.  We start of describing the scenario and suddenly Shutup for a damn second this was importanter (yes this is the word used) interrupts the setting description as if someone is now talking. "Just as he was decided that he'd doled out enough gravity and had started to open his mouth to speak" is an example of a typical sentence in this kid's story.  I think Jefferey would have failed this assignment.  It does only take 5 minutes to read if it's still free and you want to check it out, but there are a lot of better 5 minute read free Kindle reads on Amazon. If it now costs money, definitely give No Free Lunches a miss.
