This was almost a 3 stars, because it took me eons to finish it. But at some point I managed to get used to the writing style, and the stories felt a little more interesting, so I added a little bit more to the final rate.
The first story was the most difficult one for me. I was travelling at the time, and had very few hours of sleep, so that didn't help engage with the story and get used to the writing style. And it ended up being the less interesting story for me. Perhaps since it is the one that we are all familiar with from films and such, it felt too boring reading from the book. I enjoyed the other stories more.
All of the stories were quite imaginative and creative, while at the same time, they all give us a lot of criticism about us humans and how superior we think of ourselves. That sometimes was displayed in such a ridiculous manner that one cannot do anything but smile and nod positively.
We are all yahoos!
