A strange adventure
This book is NOT like the author's usual wild HOT TAKES from his journalism blogging, but the short fiction still has a fine premise with an interesting arc. Like a retelling of "Batteries Not Included," the story concerns a man who fins a mysterious little UFO in his yard. The short little jaunt takes the two through some nifty twists, though it falters a little in an underwhelming ending. Intermittent parts are dragged out a bit by needless description where the author details every distinct moment of an otherwise meaningless sequence. But otherwise there are some nice thoughts and feelings in the story, though it's difficult to peg what exactly the piece is striving to achieve between the silly humor and the somber sadness of its various parts. But part of its enjoyable experience is navigating through those disparate emotions.
Fun read
This was a good story from Drew Magary. I wish it was a full fledged novel. Of course for 99 cents it definitely fit the price.
Looking forward to the next one.
Hmmm, I Wonder What It Was?
Hmmm, I wonder what it was? That was the first question out of my mouth after reading Drew Magary's THE ROVER. An hour later it was the first sentence out of my wife's.
The Rover is a nice easy read. Quick and fast paced. I found it more about emotional connections and relationships and less about aliens and men in black. Great water cooler talk if you have a buddy or significant other who read it too.
What's next?
It was a very odd, nice, and short story. The ending left me wondering "what next?". So, for me, the story was not really finished....if that makes sense. Otherwise, it was a very good story.
Very interesting
Not sure what to make of the ending but it intrigued me throughout . A nice literary ride that I enjoyed a lot.
