This is an interesting short story collection. The tales are
short and fast-paced. At times, I could see the endings and twists coming,
others, not so much. They don’t always provide satisfying endings, and
sometimes, they end abruptly, but for some reason, I don’t mind them. The
stories feel classic from the way they are told and unfolded, which feels like
narration. They never dwell too long on the characters and plots, and this
works fine for short stories.
There are some typos, like missing punctuation and
alphabets. I’m not sure if it’s because of the format since there are some
limitations to the digital e-book, like the fixed fonts. I can’t change the
size, and the contents are not linked/clickable. I’m reading this with Amazon
Kindle apps since it’s not compatible with my Kindle, which is another question
for the format.
Other than the technical hiccups, I enjoyed the stories.
Some are not my cup of tea, but they’re easy to read and still provide some
entertaining value. They are engaging, some are unintentionally funny, and
there are snippets of real-life facts. My favorite story is Life Imitating Art.
If you enjoy a quick-paced, creative read without the need
to feel attached to the characters, this is the book for you.
