Mcsweeney's never disappoints and there was some fine stories in this collection. I really enjoyed both "Porcus Omnivorus" and "Pentimento" for their settings both here and abroad. "Charity" was gut wrenching and perfectly blue collar with one of the most touching moments in anything I have read recently.

The three part issues always let me down a little. The Where to invade next thing is interesting but not very much fun to read. Also, too many of the stories are excerpts from larger books. I was also a bit annoyed by the two stories that were cut in half. I picked up the second book first and got very confused very quickly. Though to be fair, both of those stories kinda worked without their first halves.
Some good stories but I wish there had been more.
