Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules by David Sedaris

4.0

Solid 4 stars from this collection of short stories, hand-picked by Mr. David Sedaris. It's always hard to know how to review a book of short stories by many authors so I'll just say what I always say: several stories will stay with me for a long time and I loved them, a few were terrible and I couldn't wait until they were over, and the rest fell in the middle somewhere.

Don't get this book expecting everything to be humorous. These stories have real punch. Good stuff.
