I love the idea of looking at life from the opposite direction. Most often, we judge others without understanding them. This is evident in the "hunny bunny" story you mentioned was your best. Thanks for your great review. Congrats to the author for making BOTD

A Second, Less Capable Head* by James Hanna.
The author clearly identifies the characters and feeling expressed on the second less capable head of the theory interpretation and experience. The story is about a second head population due to some contamination of the water, too many pesticides in lands leads mutational effect on some of the populace this focus on the scientific point of the view to this story. The characters leads to the abortion point of views to get rid of the abnormal born but a fear of a murder and government laws among the sufferers.This book has a very unique story and interesting.

What an amazing collection of short stories. They are unique, suspenseful, contradictory and irreverent. An author does not always write about happy endings and James Hanna manages to reflect real life in his stories. Sometimes I would catch myself reading and thinking that a situation was weird, bizarre even, but it still grabbed my attention and kept me captivated until the very end. It was the right amount of creepy, funny and real.

At first glance I was ready to pass on this book but after reading a few pages and your review I think I'm more than hooked. LOL! This book has some bizarre sounding stories but they sound fun. I may not be getting it today but it is definitely going on my TBR shelf. Thanks for the great review.

Well, well, doesn't this sound like an interesting read! I can see why some people are comparing it to Kafka but it sounds closer to Gogol's work to me (I adore Gogol). Either way, this collection would suit my twisted sense of humor and darker side perfectly. Thank you for the interesting and thorough review.

The reviewer gave some "spoilers," to some of the plot lines, but boy did they draw me in. Especially hearing about the stalker one. That sent a chill down my back. Sounds like a great read, and boy am I glad it's on KU.

Such an interesting concept for short stories. Looking into the mindset of the people in the dark side could also help the society. Thanks for the great review.
