This book was okay, the author used a device that I really do not like. He used lots of "witty quickfire" dialogue, not as bad as O.Henry but still not good. I did not care for many of the stories in here as well. The main attraction, March of the Morons was okay. There is definitely a still-relevant message within it, a mid-century bigot brings "the methods of Hitler" to the intelligentsia of the future shooting the majority of the bred-dullard population to Venus thus ridding the world of them forever. However, a good read it was not.
Frankly, the other tales in this book were just Meh in my opinion except for one. I really liked The Little Black Bag. It had characters I could identify and care about and a fittingly gruesome/humorous end. The theme of unfulfilled redemption and greed and the grim consequences thereof is food for thought but is not honed to a fine edge or aimed at a clear target by the end.
Overall, I cannot recommend this book save for the one tale I liked or for curiosity's sake Idiocracy's precursor in March of the Morons which possesses some of the same questionable undertones. The stories and the characters within are forgettable although I can see some of the charms in Kornbluth's style this book is just not for me. ( )
