Not enough time in the day to read all those SF/F books your friends keep pressing on you? Fear not.
We here at Book-A-Minute SF/F have come up with a solution. We’ve taken several great speculative fiction novels and extracted the important stuff, cutting out all the filler. (You’d be surprised how much filler there is sometimes.) With our ultra-condensed versions of your favorite speculative fiction, you can read entire books — entire series, even — in just one minute! You can have your books and read them too! And it costs nothing!
Worth looking at in small doses (so to speak), but, in that context, mostly side-splitting.

I am happy to say that for once, my Mileage Has Not Varied!
Some of those are so cynically spot-on (albeit hilarious), I’m not going to be able to reread the originals without the condensed versions running through my mind.
(does so)

My favorite:
The Collected Work of Stephen King
Ultra-Condensed by Mike Martinez
It was a nice day………………………AND THEN EVIL CAME!
THE END
I actually found the ultra-condensed ones to be the best. The first Thomas Covenant synopsis was an example.
Yeah, that one was especially good, too.
