A randomly-selected handful of quotes, to demonstrate how truly awesome Narbonic is: 

 

--Kee-ripes, have you just spent the whole weekend explaining things to the MENSA rat?" 

--"The Dave you knew is dead.  I killed him with awesomeness." 

--"May we escape pointy death first?" 

--"Hey!  the floor tastes like beer!" 

--"So...since I've lost a good job and a beautiful woman and happiness I'm due for some demonic powers?" 

--"And the flying pickle people...oh poop, they aren't real?  I can make some..." 

--"When you said he was acting odd you did not specify 'Miniature Spacetime Singularity' odd!"

--"Aww! You've got a widdle bitty dark side!" 

--"Dude, we're fighting hamsters." 

--"Hey Dave!  Sane up!  The hospice needs your bed!" 

--"...and after the state troopers gunned down my venomous gorillaphant the zoo asked us to leave!"

--"I have a lot of sick days and dead days saved up..." 
 

--"You don't understand!  Every time I get a car...women squish it...""

Wow. Where [b:Narbonic Perfect Collection Book 1|13410788|Narbonic Perfect Collection Book 1|Shaenon K. Garrity|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1453398590l/13410788._SX50_.jpg|18659432] was a rollicking set of tales full of world building and character development, Book 2 is where the rubber meets the road. [a:Shaenon K. Garrity|295143|Shaenon K. Garrity|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/f_50x66-6a03a5c12233c941481992b82eea8d23.png] knits the seemingly-random tales and events from the first book into a tale of Mad Scientist Creation Gone Mad, and by the end we're not 100% sure who's mad and who's sane (and which we prefer!)

I wholly endorse finishing this one off with [b:the reactorside reader|40962575|the reactorside reader|Shaenon K.
