Love the premise, dialogue, humanity, sweetness of this story. Going to look for more from this author. Found it on www.gutenberg.org

Another oddly written story dealing with the Bugout universe. I think there needed to be more background, which I know is hard to do in a short story, but I felt I was missing context.

[Coleman Wigger · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a good quick read for anyone that enjoys Comic Characters and the like. A little on the goofy side of things. Does give some great responses on different ways of thinking.

Common Doctorow:
Nice idea suffers from
Bland execution.

Cute but not Doctorow's best.
