Short story collections are a hit or miss for me. 

If this were a physical book, I would skip ahead until I got to a story that was no longer about
Law and Order
. It is too repetitive and absurd in audio form. 

But I adored the first stories, especially the story about the ribbon.

The book is confusing at times, but maybe I just need to read this like I'm a engl 302 teacher
