Don't come in to an L. Ron Hubbard book expecting deep, modern literature. Think Snakes on a Plane. It is what it is, and it's not trying to be anything less genuine (I'm looking at you, Water for Elephants). If you enjoy fun, old-fashioned storytelling, this is an excellent summer read for you.
My second L. Ron Hubbard book...or should I say, short story. I rathered The Dangerous Dimension, but this one was still good. His writing style is superb. Even though the general plot may seem kinda lame, it's written so well and with such humor that you're interested anyway.
I wanted to read some L. Ron Hubbard from his days as a pulp writer so I could get some insight into the weird bastard who started Scientology. Well, based on this toe in the water I can say he sure aint much of a writer.
This is a definite reminder of the Science Fiction I grew up with and loved. I could never get enough of these stories, either in radio theater, book, magazine or movie form. This one brought back a lot of memories.
Made me want to read more pulp fiction. Interesting to see where Stephen King's roots are.
The story itself is Alice in Wonderland travelling to 1930's New York and meeting up with gangsters in a bar.

Silly but mildly enjoyable pulp short story employing the old Alice in Wonderland "drink me" plot device to grow and shrink people.
I though this was a long book, but iwas just a really short story that did not impress me at all...
Got this as a free audiobook, and was hesitant to even listen to it considering the author, but since it was only 1/2 hr long I gave it a go.
I got through the whole thing, and as far as I can tell my religion & brain waves remain on the same frequency. As for the story, I guess it was alright. Kind of got the feeling a 12 yr old could've come up with the concept though. Actually if you think about it, he kind of borrowed it from Alice & Wonderland already - a drink that makes you grow &...more

This book is just for fun. The story line is most likely detailed elsewhere with the bartender partaking of a potion from Borneo that shrinks him small as a mouse.
It is a riot!
Pure fun and imagination and antics! I have had two friends listen to this story and they laughed some good ones and frequently. Like a funny cartoon! Anything can happen and does!
