Kind of like a ham-fisted knock off of A Softer World.

I really like it. I bought a copy of the book to give to my sister, but don't tell her, it's a surprise.

Some of it seems more like what it feels like to read a lot of Max Cannon and then open up Photoshop. The scary kind.

Yep. A weak-sauce version of A Softer World.

It does resemble Soft World, and thanks for the introduction that that lovely work, but they are all derivative of Jack Hanby, no? ;-)
