Rating: B-
Like the other reviews say about short story collections being a mixed bag, I totally agree. I liked the first story about the green women, collectively about people (men) not respecting boundaries / curiosity killed the cat.
The Law and Order kind of story that was like a synopsis of every episode in like 8 seasons of TV shows - that was really bad.
I did kind of zone out and lose track of the other stories. Not really worth the read.
