Tenth of December: Stories by George Saunders
4.0
funny lighthearted mysterious reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A decent mix of stories with exquisite vocabulary and relatively interesting character work, Tenth of December has some really cool ideas that kept me quite enraptured (“Escape from Spiderhead,” “Exhortation,” and “My Chivalric Fiasco” were my personal highlights), some stories buoyed by strong characters or prose (“The Semplica Girl Diaries” and “Home”), and a handful of mostly forgettable but inoffensive tales.
