5.0

I really like how some of the stories, despite their length, are rich enough to not only stand alone but to allow a sequel.

My favourites are Nwunye Belgium,  Eden and a Girl Who Lies (I might have gotten it wrong)

I really like how the author relates the story of Eden to the title by

1) Making the first adult film the two watch "A Taste in Paradise" (I giggled a bit)

2) Making you ask the question: Why would the father not only buy those films, but leave them out to be eventually be discovered by the kids? Which reminded me of the question I hear sometimes,
Why would God leave a tree like the fruit of Good and Evil around to be eventually discovered by Adam and Eve?
