I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review.

This is a wonderful short story addition to Alec and Adri's story. It fills in some details on both of their sides and you can see just how the break up affects both of them. This is a short story but it still has enough detail to make it feel totally worthwhile whilst reading it.

A brilliant snapshot of the consequences of making a decision and then having doubts or having to deal with that decision.

The Weirdest Place on Earth!
Wow! I can't believe that I've never seen this animated short before until just recently! I bet that if I had watched this animated short when I was little, I would have loved it! "Quasi at the Quackadero" is certainly one of the WEIRDEST animated shorts I have ever seen! Sally Cruikshank (who had also done animation work for "Sesame Street" during the 1980s) had done an awesome job at animating this short as the characters and the wacky world that they live in come to life and I have to say that this animation was very well done for the 1970s! I also loved the fact that there are so many details going on in the animation like there was one scene where a circus master of sorts was yelling at his crew and you can see a strange creature pop out of his pants for no reason at all. I was also entertained by the bantering between Quasi and Anita, as I found it interesting that while they went out to the Quackadero together, it seems like they can't stand each other and I was interested in seeing how Anita and Rollo will get rid of Quasi towards the end of the short.

The only problem with this short is that it can be rather confusing at times, especially during the scenes where Quasi, Anita and Rollo go to the Quackadero. Also, if you are not a huge fan of bizarre imagery, this short has plenty of bizarre imagery that might creep out some viewers. And another thing, even though this aspect is probably not that important to the story, I would have loved to see more from Anita, Quasi and Rollo's relationship with each other since I wanted to know why they treat each other so terribly.

Overall, "Quasi at the Quackadero" is one of the most bizarre yet creative animated shorts I have ever seen and I can't wait to check out the sequel "Make Me Psychic" someday!

Will they be able to foil the terrorist plot against them?

I haven't read the prequel to this so maybe some of points will have been different if I had.

When I first started understanding the full story, I was very surprised at how short the book was. I was wondering how you could unpiece such a large scale operation in such a short book.

The story is fast-paced and the short chapters only add to this. I read it very quickly and enjoyed the pulse racing action.

I like the diversity of characters and the insight into CIA/MI6 operations. Its also a very current story.

I felt the hidden past mentioned on the cover was a little underwhelming. Overall the story was very neat, in every tense moment there is someone or something to save the day.
