I'm glad I read this. The voice was surprisingly refreshing and the writing was often eloquent and lyrical. Each part had something special - the first was maturely crafted (in both writing and plot), the second was intriguing in story, and the third was short, snappy, and stunning. The final few short stories were gripping - I felt my heart tense up as I was reading. I couldn't put it down.
