I found the style of these short stories off putting. I find the insistant use of past tense in the writing annoying after a while and the characters felt medeocre at best.

I really got into it more towards the end, but the stories were inconsistent and sometimes too similar, and the last story was a dud in my opinion. Still one of the better story collections I've read, though. Haven't read many...

Like any short story collection, I liked some more than others. My favorites were: A Romantic Weekend, An Affair, The Secretary
