Your Utopia: Stories by Bora Chung
3.25
While I had high hopes for "Your Utopia", I found it didn't quite resonate with me as strongly as "Cursed Bunny." Though it's not entirely fair to compare the two due to their different genres, I couldn't help but feel less captivated by this collection. Here are my thoughts on each story:
- The Center for Immortality Research (3.5/5)
The plot twist was interesting, but the story felt pretty flat and not very memorable.
- The End of the Voyage (4.5/5)
This one was really good, especially towards the end. The twist was unexpected and made the story great.
- A Very Ordinary Marriage (4.0/5)
This story was wild. I thought the wife might be in a cult, but I was wrong. The scary parts, especially the bathroom scenes, were creepy.
- Maria, Gratia Plena (4.5/5)
I didn't get it at first, but the ending made everything clear. The story turned out to be quite powerful.
- Your Utopia (3.0/5)
This one is retty dull. It didn’t live up to the book's title for me.
- A Song for Sleep (3.75/5)
Weird but unique. The story was good and a bit sad, which made it interesting.
- Seed (2.0/5)
My least favorite. I found it boring.
- To Meet Her (2.5/5)
Had potential but wasn’t executed well. It didn’t leave a strong impression.
Overall, "Your Utopia" has some great moments but I didn't enjoy reading it as much as I hoped.
