Review: Is That What People Do?

Is That What People Do? Is That What People Do? by Robert Sheckley
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

A lot of the stories are cynical about marriage, relationships, or women, so I went and looked up the author's Wikipedia entry.

Not at all to my surprise, he was married five times.

DNF at about 50%, when the misogyny went right over the top.

Got this as a freebie from Open Road, and like most of their books, it needs better proofreading for basic things like missing periods at the end of sentences. Thinking about ditching their Portalist newsletter, since most of their list is crusty old SFF like this, and the half-assed job they do of the proofreading is starting to wear on me.
