With this newest collection of irreverent short stories Manion once again asks the reader to get off the bench and into the game as he dishes out laughs, offense and even a few poignant moments. There is no point to be made here. Only the hope that somewhere amidst all the run-on sentences, unnecessary profanity and poor grammar, readers will come away with some unique thoughts of their own. Perfect reading for artists, commuters and people who spend an inordinate amount of time on the toilet. This is his fourth collection of short stories and frankly we're just as surprised as anyone that he is continuing to write them. But here it is. It helps if you have a good imagination. That's not to imply that we think if you don't enjoy it then you don't have a good imagination. It's certainly not a litmus test for creativity. All we're saying is that it doesn't hurt if you're a little off. If you're looking for us to try and talk you into it than I think you've clearly overestimated our interest in your reading it. But having said that, if you've already invested this much time in reading the description what's the worst that could happen if you gave it a shot? Exactly. You've been warned.
