l’unico racconto interessante è stato quello di kazuo ishiguro (a cui avrei anche dato 4 stelle), per il resto una noia incredibile

Short Story collections are a bit hit and miss with me and this fell into that category.  I read 6 1/2 of the stories and none of them really captured my reading vibes.
I feel life is too short to continue reading a book that is boring or non-captivating.  Therefore, I dnf'd it.
