Reviews

[Barbara]

Sort of entertaining but “schlocky” (sorry)

Lots of short stories that kind of make you laugh at the level of clever word play but the stories became annoying for the lack of intelligence of the main characters.

[Jim Benton]

I am so sorry I wasted time with this. Puns become so tedious
