The first story is interesting, has some complexities to it, then the next story takes the same character further into his development and you can somewhat see how the boy from the first story became this neurotic person...but then it gets a bit weird. I did like the first couple stories, but then more and more I came to despise Nick and his bizarre and destructive ways. Each story seemed to convey the same message, which got old after awhile.

The writing was good, it was just the repetitive nature of the stories that didn't seem to captivate me. I truthfully was just pulling myself through by the end, not really enjoying the stories anymore. The last one in the book was very sad and gave the most insight into Nick, who it turns out was a horrible person from the beginning.
