First off, I received this free from the author for background/research so we could do a character interview for my author-ego sister site miadarien.com, but I liked it and it's indie, so I decided to review it.
That being said...
This is a very interesting book. It's not for the uptight politically correct, and it's not subtle in its satirical nature or targets. But if you can loosen up, it's quite amusing.
The format is interesting and takes a little getting used to. It moves from news story to news story from the Alternate Reality News Service, over several categories. In between the categories there is a short story about the Editrix-in-Chief, Brenda... who has a last name I can't spell from memory to save my life.
Sometimes it felt like it got a little weighted down and dragged a bit under it's own sense of humor, and when it got too much into obvious present politics (referencing real life politicians today, etc.,) then it lost me a little but that's just 'cause it's not my thing.
But literary diseases? Apostrophisis... I spelled that wrong, I'm sure... but that was great. I think I've known people who've had it, really. And the Editrix-in-Chief break-ins to the science reporters article towards the end was just hysterical. The reporters and their ways of writing their articles were also funny and enjoyable.
Over all, I give it a solid 4. And I'm looking forward to this upcoming character interview between Brenda and another Brenda from the multiverse...

Nayman has successfully combined science fiction and humour in this collection of (approx.) 82 ‘news stories’ from different universes. Whilst some of it is extremely interesting, and other parts are thoroughly amusing, It still wasn’t for me. My lack of knowledge in some of the subject matters, largely due to my younger age, made it difficult to find some references funny. I don’t believe this is the author’s fault. However, there are some ridiculously long, sometimes made-up, words that I found frustrating to try and read.
Despite my griping, I do recommend this to those who appreciate all kind of humour and silliness. He has a following that adore his work, so don’t be put off by my preferences.
