Many of these stories were great reads. There were a couple that have stuck with me. There were at least four though that were subpar or hard to follow. The back of my copy makes a comparison between Chuck and Kurt Vonnegut.  Honestly,  I think that's a bold statement. Kurt Vonnegut typically wrote about characters that were somewhat beloved or in a way that showed that he may have cared about them in some way. I don't feel like Chuck is the same way, but that's the beauty. Overall, this is great if you like short stories.
