I loved this book. Now that doesn't mean every story was great-not everyone was. Most of them were very good, and the evil overlord doesn't always win. But I love rooting for the bad guys and am always pleased when they win especially if it's through some clever or smart way. Thought this book did pretty good justice to the evil overlords of the world. Again, if you love to root for the bad guys, this a great read, if not-skip this.

Novelty short story collections are generally a let down for me. So it was a bit of surprise to find that I generally enjoyed this collection a good bit. None of it is great literature, but over 2/3's of the stories qualify as 'good reads'. This is a lovely book to have for occasions when you desire a small dose of escapist literature.

A humorous take on what it means to be an evil overlord through short stories. As younger people than I might say ROTFLOL while reading these.
