I've been a long-time Lynda Barry fan and I thought this was going to be more of the same and while it is more of the same it is also the best of the same. Nothing bolsters my ego like a Lynda Barry comic. I know that she's not for everyone and that's okay. But check out something by her from your closest library - please. If you're not happy, I will take you out to lunch.(less)

I liked this collection of 100 short short stories less and less and I read them. The voice and tone was the same throughout and I found myself wanting a change or shift.

The first character you meet is the assistant to a successful music industry executive and each subsequent story moves from place to place, throughout time, touching on people both central and marginal.
I started each new story with an anticipation of who I would be reading about and how they fit into the ever-growing narrative. (less)
