"The ex-planet Pluto has a few choice words about being thrown out of the solar system. A listing of alternate histories tells you all the various ways Hitler has died.

Fun, amusing and very short stories by John Scalzi. The most common theme is human-alien interactions and if you've read some of his longer fiction, those can get very interesting. Amusing in the same way that Kaiju Preservation Society is, but without the current culture references. Good stuff, not to be taken seriously. (

If this had been half as long, it would have been twice as good, but there's a limit to how many times I want to read the same story idea. (

Entertaining enough. Contains a few stories from Love, Death, and Robots, which was a bit of a surprise. (

Miniatures
By John Scalzi
This is such a fun book! It's a bunch of short stories, mostly sci-fi and the majority humorous! The variety of stories are great too! I giggled, smiled, and enjoyed each story which is very unusual to like all short stories from a book.
I listened to the audio version which was awesome! Various great narrators. (

Somewhat repetitive in theme, often verging on the silly, but on the whole, quite amusing.

Several of these stories are good for a laugh, but some (such as “Cute Adorable Extortionists”) make it clear that the bottom of the writing trunk was carefully scraped.
