This book started off great, I really enjoyed the first two stories they sucked me in and I was thrilled to be reading them but the third story was stupid. Demons taken over a plane sounds very interesting, until you make them childish and have them make passengers bob for apples. Sure they were rotten apples in murky water, but it didn't make sense. The story only got downhill from then. They started off as these fearful demons but then they get afraid when the passengers stand up to them? And you expect me to believe all that happens in 24 hours? No thanks.
The next story was okay, not boring but nothing special about it. I didn't enjoy it, and it had a small racist character which left a slight bitter taste in my mouth, but it was readable. It was different.
The last story held so much potential, but the ending let it down, it was such a shame. I really expected it to have a better ending, and when it ended how it did I regretted reading the story. It spoilt it. I thought it was him, and when it was (sort of?) revealed that it was, I wasn't happy that I
got it right because it wasn't executed well enough.
