My! What a fine review of my short story collection
If only any of it were true, and not just a piece of AI bullshit
It would be nice if real, living, breathing human beings gave their views on the book, even if they're not as generous as this...

This was the 1st time I noticed a brilliant programme going insane in its final episode, looking for the BIG ending.
Virtually all thrillers do this now, looking for a big twist or reveal or striving for extra tension.
EoD is still superb, though.
