Title: A book this bad...
Review: ...doesn't deserve to be in print. Terry Bisson has to be the absolute worst writer ever to be published. It only took three chapters from "In The Upper Room and Other Likely Stories" for me to determine that TB is completely untalented and probably got most of his ideas about writing from a weekend seminar called "Repetition is Funny or How to Say Things Until They Are Funny". I take that back, TB has one talent, and that is his talent to take a perfectly good premise and completely butcher it with his repetitive, dull and close minded style. I gave him three chances and he blew it three times in a row with the first three stories in this book. All the good ideas got mangled by his inept, sorry excuse for style. He is a one trick pony that is funny only by accident and even then not very. Mostly I found myself feeling sorry for the poor slob. Skip this book. I got it from the library and I am thinking of suing them mental anguish. Yuck yuck yuck... Avoid at all costs!
