Okay, I admit that i not only do not like really strange off the wall fantasy, but the more it goes into improbable being the more likely parts of the story, the less I like that kind of story.
This one went so far beyond that with things that "defy logic and known behavior" and actions in the setup to the story, in the story, in the way people act, and in linear time all seem to be fighting to find out which was the worst choice.
There are car races, various types and classes of cars, but if this was a car race it would be demolition derby and as every expectation aside, as much as you might want to see the super car races, be they drag races, the Indy 500, or good old Southern Stock Car races, well, tossing in a demolition derby really throws things off balance.
The result is a lot of pages of demolition derby and totally illogical progression, and strangely enough, that made it an easy and fun read for me because I did not have to accumulate data to build the society-- it was on the page, done in a way I would never believe would work, with some of the worst excuses as to why it was allowed to take place, and it makes me write sentences that are way, way, WAY too long!
Even so, while it was not what I expected and just too "off the wall" in the actions, it was actually funny, and the story was a demolition derby, not a normal race. And yes, it was very funny, I could not picture it being even casually related to reality, but the absurdity of the behavior of everyone in the story was just "over the top" in every aspect.
Nine out of ten stars, or four and a half out of five-- which rounds to the five out of five stars.
Beyond that, a farce wrapped in a parody where nobody has a clue-- that was fun.
But it would not have happened that way.
Not even close to that way.

This is a fantastical journey into a small town-Science fiction with a twist!
This is a fantastical journey into a small town who is beset by who they think are the Chinese--a virtual army of them--hundreds of thousands!! It all started when the Sheriff's young daughter fell into what appeared to be a sink hole in their back yard. Then the phone calls started coming from his daughter on a phone that wasn't supposed to work. When Joanna came back to town-just as her estranged parents left on a vacation. She had her daughter with her. She really did not have anywhere else to go. The Sheriff kept trying to tell people what was happening--but would they listen--of course not--- This does have a happy ending for the town thankfully. But it does get a bit scary once in a while.
