This was a highly imaginative story that takes the reader to many different places and times. The main character Jeff Witherspork, and well...the other characters as well make for a very interesting journey. While it took me a bit to catch on to what was going on, once I did, I hung on tight as the story went full-speed into epic battles and the attempts to save the day.

I have absolutely loved this short story. It is very original and it includes lots of elements that I enjoy in stories, like time-travelling and cameos from real-life characters. Jeff Witherspork feels he is different and he doesn't quite fit in his world, but when he gets a really unexpected and weird email, things will get complicated and he will play an important role. It is a surprising and refreshing short story that you shouldn't miss. Packed with action and a fast plot, it will hook you f...more
An enjoyable little book bringing together an odd group of characters, it is an interesting read and did keep me entertained to the end, which is also good and I am very fussy about endings. I would recommend this to all readers and rated it a well deserved four stars
Witherspork is an awesome short story that has battling gods, timetravel and some surprising characters. I loved it and can't wait to read more from this author.
