Great review! I don't read a lot of short stories, but this collection sounds interesting. I like the way you highlighted a few of your favorites in the book, so that I was able to get a flavor of the stories. Nice job!

These were great flash fiction offerings.
While I liked almost every story, three stories were my favorite.
Congratulations to the reviewer on being able to select only three from this great collection to comment on. Can any account be more timely than The Gettysburg Tweet? This review along with the free sample available should inspire almost anyone to give up the money. Buy the book.

Thank you for the review. I am glad that you were able to find some favorites and not just finding the book overall the same. It is definitely nicer when the story flows without many grammatical errors.

That's good to hear. I hope you like the book. Let me know your review of the book when you finish reading it. Thank You so much! :D

I really like a good collection of short stories, and this one with all its twist and turns sound good. And I don't mind a few grammatical errors, I don't see them when I'm caught up in the story.

I read the first three stories, and I concur with the review. I like grinning and thinking to myself, "Well, didn't see that coming...". Great review for a great book. Congrats to Dan Groat.

Congrats on the detailed review! Definitely a book of short stories I'd like to try out. I'm really looking forward to reading the story you told about the two neighbors fighting all the time.

Thanks for the review. Looks like a good book to read 55 short stories in one book.

This book sounds pretty great! I love reading several short stories and am curious as to how 55 different short stories in one book would work together. I have noticed that a lot of kindle books have an editing issue so it is no surprise. I hope the flow was not that interrupted!

I can hardly wait to read Impressions by Dan Groat. I thought it was a great twist, and since I have OCD it will be amusing to read s serious book including the details.
