I am still reading Wireless by Charles Stross, and I have to admit that one of the short stories in the book to me was a total misfire.
So it was just a bit of a surprise when I got to the afterword by Charles that he said it was very difficult to write humour, you should have got from that statement that the story in question was supposed to be a fun piece, in the still of PG Woodhouse, I can tell you now, that there are some very good reasons why Woodhouse is so admired, as what he does in print is very very hard as Charles goes on to say in his afterword.
So out of all the short stories that I have read in the book so far one misfire can't be bad can it?
Has the book been entertaining? Yes
