3.0

The selection of the short stories could be better. I found myself liking around a forth of them. The first few I found quite boring. It took me some time to get though this book, even though it was rather short. I got to read around 5 actually interesting stories. I didn't go into it expecting to adore it and I didn't. But it was a decent read.
