" I wanted to "really like" this book or to think it was "amazing," but the whole time I was reading it, I kept thinking, "If only Vonnegut had written this," or "If only George Saunders had written it." Much like Kevin Wilson, I feel like Currie's voice in these stories is too close to his influences to be fresh or inventive. The ideas were great, and I liked the whole stories-as-novel thing, but I guess I was expecting something that -- with a title like this -- really pushed the envelope. Some envelope, any envelope. "
