Sorry Please Thank You by Charles Yu
2.0
I was lent an advanced copy of this book, and was fairly excited. The cover was nicely textured as was the book itself and the stories discussed on the book jacket intrigued me.
Little did I know that those stories were in the first section and the rest just would not be up to par.
The "Sorry"section is full of stories that are unique, intriguing, and attractive to anyone who likes sci-fi. I quickly read the whole section when I meant to only read one sorry.
"Please"starts out with a good pen and paper game based story, but my interest quickly dwindled after that. And "Thank You"was probably my least favorite.
Honestly, if I recommend this book, I'll probably tell them to read "Sorry", the first story from "Please" and then "All of the Above".
Outside of those stories, the rest seemed interesting and like they had a good creative idea behind it, but that the author lacked something to make the short story really complete or draw me in. In fact, at times, it felt like a chore to read this book so that I could return it to its owner.
