3.5
Mile 81 - cool story, but don't know if the boy who got drunk and passed out was really necesarry
Premium Harmony - short, easy, bit forgettable
Batman and Robin Have an Altercation - This was nice
The Dune - loved the ending, the rest of the book was a bit average
Bad Little Kid - Probably the best in the collection. A solid story.
A Death - SO forgettable
The Bone Church - Love Stephen King, but he needs to stop writing poetry
Morality - Cool story
Afterlife - fun, but I feel like I've read it before
Ur - This was really cool
Herman Wouk Is Still Alive - Good character work, really impactful
Under the Weather - So well executed
Blockade Billy - I REALLY don't care about baseball
Mister Yummy - A filler story
Tommy - Like, REALLY needs to stop writing poetry
The Little Green God of Agony - This one SUCKS
That Bus Is Another World - Cool idea, poor execution
Obits - Cool idea, but it didn't go anywhere really
Drunken Fireworks - meh
Summer Thunder - I didn't really get what it was about until the end, but when I got it, it was cool.
OVERALL
This is probably the worst collection of his I have read. Whilst there were good stories, they were few and far-between, and there weren't any stories that really stood out or blew me away. But I loved the author notes he had at the start of each story.
