I really wanted to like this book and I did think the first two stories were pretty good (the second wasn't so much a story but a mock history (which sounds dreadful (but was terribly funny (and that is no small feat)))) but the last two annoyed me so much I just couldn't get through appendix (yes there is an appendix (what do you expect from a book with a mock history? (more mock histories (which are less funny the second time around))). I could tell the writer had created a potentially amazing world chock a block full of fascinating characters and histories, I just don't think he did anything with it.
