on April 07, 2011 :
The book gets 4 stars because I bought it during "Read an EBook Week". If I had actually bought the book at face value, I would have felt slighted by the short length. But at minimum, this is a 3 star story. The idea that a supernova or the extinguishing of the Sun would not end all life on planet instantly is hard to accept. There would be no time to see things fall apart. We would all just die, flat out die, and that would be the end of it. But if the reader is willing to side step that detail, they'll find a very entertaining and scathing confessional. It's a rant, but it is a good rant. As a character, Earl establishes his personality clearly in the limited words he had to use. I couldn't help but feel sympathy for such a likable character as he closed in on his demise. It would have been nice if this book was included in a collection of short stories, but if the reader is will to spend a buck for a few good minutes, this will make a worthy read.
