These are more meditations, not stories. I suppose it made me sleepier? But I would attribute that to the voice and music/sound, not the “stories”

I was so excited for this book, the idea is a great one, but the time line jumps around a bunch and there are way too many characters. I also felt like the author was trying to be really deep about the concepts, but it was a lot of telling instead of showing and I didn’t feel like I really see the story happening. It would’ve been rated barely 2 stars, but when the narrator seemed unconcerned by the amount of grape, I just had to stop. With a lot of editing, this could’ve been a great book or at the very least, a good one. So disappointed.
