It's too bad that there are errors in the book. Other than that, it sounds like this is a great collection of stories. It's awesome that they didn't get too repetitive. Great job on the review!

True. I hope you give this collection a chance! Thank You for your comments! :D

I usually don't go for many short story compilations; I even get a little frustrated when Stephen King does it, haha. I read them anyway, and love them though, it's Stephen King, what's not to love? Based on your review, however, I have downloaded this book. Congrats to the author on a great review, despite the errors.

I sampled this book and enjoyed the short stories that I read. I'll definitely be adding this book to my list.

Wonderful review! For a compilation of fifty-five short stories, it touches a multitude of topics. I loved how the review said that its beauty lies in its simplicity and that most of the stories have unexpected endings. Definitely reading this one.
