Gosh, I really thought I would love this book but I’m starting to think that short story collections really aren’t for me. I found most of the stories confusing and hard to follow and just, generally, unengaging. And don’t get me started on the awfully confusing Law and Order retelling thing - it was so long and boring and I didn’t know what was happening half the time. I didn’t like the writing and I just didn’t enjoy the reading experience but I know that this book will be absolutely perfect for a lot of people.
