The Adventures of Tom Stranger, Interdimensional Insurance Agent
Larry Correia
Firstly, this was an exceptionally silly, almost stupid book. Secondly, I loved it. The premise was bizarre to begin with - an interdimensional insurance agent's day. Add to it the almost high schoolish level of cramming in of superlatives and insane amount of pop internet culture and it can come off as absolutely stupid. While it reads like a fanzine knockoof of science fiction it does so to sarcastically lampoon the genre, the fans of the genre and even the author himself. This was a highly enjoyable experience and a necessary one after such a heavy read in Uwem Akpan.
