Line 23:
* [[Anachronic Order]]: This, combined with the constant continuity errors, makes for a very confusing read.
* [[Artistic License Geography]]: Surely an intentional example, when Irene recalls her vacation with Henry.

** The book's cover depicts palm trees and a beach. Atlanta is over a hundred miles inland, and palm trees aren't native to Georgia.
* [[Back From the Dead]]: Rory Edwards, with no explanation. At first, the reader might think that this is just the [[Anachronic Order]] at work, but then, there is absolutely no way that this chapter is set before the one where he died. Just to make things even more ridiculous, he dies ''again'' in his final appearance.
Line 54:
* [[Large Ham]]: The Dramatic Readings.
* [[Metaphorgotten]]

* [[Missing Episode]]: Chapter 21 was never written.
* [[The Mistress]]: Irene Stevens, to Henry Archer
Line 71:
** [[Beige Prose]]: "They had wild sex."
* [[Quote Mine]]: One of the blurbs suggest this:

* [[Race Lift]]: In one chapter, Bruce and Callie are black and speak in [[Jive Turkey]], and Bruce is trying to [[Changeling Fantasy|find his long-lost mother]]. In every other chapter, they're white (Callie's pale skin is explicitly brought up on several occasions), and this subplot is never heard from again. Bruce is also Asian briefly.

Line 87:
* [[Spit Take]]: Very common in the [[Dramatic Reading]]. Especially when the penguins are discussed.
* [[Stealth Insult]]: This blurb:

* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Its only reason for existing is to suck. Also invoked [[In-Universe]].
* [[They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste]]
* [[Trivially Obvious]]: Some of the blurbs:

"Only a sequel could follow this!" }}
* [[Unusual Chapter Numbers]]: There are two Chapter 12s, and no Chapter 21.
