Some of the stories were super brutal and awful, they left me with a sense of dread while others were almost hopeful. Apt Pupil was not what I expected at all and I hated it. I hated the characters so much, it was dreadful, awful and really portrayed humanity's lows. I really liked Shawshank redemption it was a great novella and the breathing method although sad was a great one as well. Since I liked some stories I gave 3.5

Every other story after Shawshank paled in comparison. I did enjoy Apt Pupil, but the other two didn't excite me much. Still a good collection, but I wasn't in love.
