The writing was solid, it was easy to understand without being patronising.
As it tends to be with short stories I enjoyed some more than others - however, they were all vert engaging and easy to get into. The ones with the weirder elements were my favourite and the most enjoyable to read, but I think this is mainly because I'm not in love with this genre.
This book, at many points, can be a little dodgy towards women, but, on the whole, it was not so prevalent that it decreased my enjoyment of the book.
All in all, not a bad read - it was relatively enjoyable and easy enough to get through.
