Rob, a professional debunker, is watching yet another performance by a supposed psychic. But as she calls forth the spirit entity known as Isus, another voice suddenly interrupts. And this one is so unexpected and so real, even the hardened skeptic finds he can't help but believe.

This engaging, humorous tale of the beyond won a Hugo Award for Best Novella.

This was a quick and fun paranormal fiction piece. When a new psychic act comes to town, ex-actress Kildy decides that her boss needs to see the show. Rob, a journalist and professional skeptic doesn't do channelers with Kildy's nudging it goes to a performance. In the end, he gets more then he bargained for and maybe the story to end all stories.

The dialog between Kildy and Rob make this novella. It was a fun and witty listen that has convinced me to pick up more by Connie Willis.

Fun Paranormal!

The narrator was good but the story was neither mysterious nor interesting. At the end, I just wondered why it had been written. In my view it didn't seem to have much purpose.

Sets the stage and then has no way to end the story. Very disappointing. Far from her usual effort.

Not up to her usual standard

I have just discovered Connie Willis after reading "Not to Mention the Dog". The author tweaks just a few small things about everyday life to make an interesting and sometimes funny semi-fantasy, a sort of "what would happen if...." This book was great fun and kept me interested throughout. I'd advise not wasting a credit on it due to its short length, but wait until there is a sale and buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Terrific, but too short

Love Connie Willis and I adore this shorter book. It's about what happens when spiritualists go real. Too funny and way too wonderful.

A Silly Witty Treat

It is nothing special. It did not bore me. I smiled about 15 times, laughed aloud 3 times and frowned and grimaced the rest of the time while driving from Durban to Johannesburg while listening to this a part of the way.

Would you listen to Inside Job again? Why?

Yes, This story is well written, a delight after what seemed like listening to a string of sloppily written books. It is also very well read. The fact that it is just under 2 1/2 hours is perfect for a trip or other occasion when you don't want to commit to a long book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Rob. I like that he is the professional skeptic who questions his own gullibility in this case.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It had me smiling throughout because it was so well writtern -- sly and humorous.

Any additional comments?

Don't expect a deep story, but if (like me) you enjoyed Connie Willis' To Say Nothing of the Dog then I think you will also enjoy this novella.

Delightful light novella
