About this ebook

“Don't read this in a public place, you won't be able to stop yourself laughing out loud. It reminds me of Douglas Adams, the careful plotting mixed with those absurdities and jokes that sneak up and make you snort tea through your nose. Hilarious.” Goodreads.

What if you really were the centre of the universe?

Norman Mi’s house is shrinking. He’s sure of it.

But that’s the least of his problems, even if he doesn’t realise it yet. There’s also the odd time dilation effects at the office, the invisible spiders that no one else can see, and the eccentric neighbours who insist on eating his bacon sandwiches.

In spite of all of this, Norman is a completely average man; a man so bland he would disappear in the middle of Ikea. The trouble is, Norman doesn’t want to be an average man, he wants to be unique, he wants to be somebody, and he wants to amount to something.

And he’s about to get exactly what he wants; whether it’s good for him or not.

Normalverse is the first part of a trilogy about normality and pan-galactic rent disputes.

And it’s FREE.

Well Simon, I know that you would have liked to get more stars going for you, but, when your writings are barely literate at best, try and try again. Perhaps in the future, you might try having your readers feel like they are not reading some five graders attempt at an essay gone terribly wrong. The only thing that was okay, was the fact that your spelling was mostly without mistakes. If I do get to abuse myself with another of your short stories, I hope that it will not hurt my intellect as much as this book did. Be the best that you can be.

Story line is interesting, BUT: Norman is no Arthur Dent and the two-headed alien captain has very little character ( unlike Zaphod). And too much unnecessary profanity, like it is supposed to be funny just because it is a 4-letter word that rhymes with truck. Might be fine for teenage boys, but not for me.

And that's the best I can give it. Because it is positively riddled with spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors, almost as if it were written by a fifth grader. Does no one proofread literature anymore? While the author is imaginative, his grasp on the English language is tentative at best.
