review 1: An interesting model for how the modern short story collection should work. Each piece propels you into the next. A lot of the reviews on here seem to believe that they all sound the same and are about similar characters, which I think is rather untrue. If you think that all of the characters in this book are the same, then we're not reading the same book. The writing style is singular and dynamic in a way that's soft spoken and genuine in the way that it conveys average people dealing with the pain of everyday life without being too overdramatic about it.
review 2: I'm still reading these because I don't read a book of short stories the way I read a novel. (I will say that while I'm reading, it's hard not to go on to the next story as if it were the next chap... moreter.) These stories are so vivid, I feel like I'm falling into Harry Potter's pensieve when I start one, and I come out startled and not sure where I am. I checked the book out from the library weeks ago, and I just can't bring myself to turn it in until I finish it. less
