2.5 starsThis bookclub book was a bit like most Aronofsky movies--I'm glad I read it, and I have no desire to read it again.This is a collection of nine stories told from various perpectives. The opening story, for example, is told from the view of a Bengal tiger who is in love with its keeper. Othe...
Short stories aren't really my "thing." This collection had one or two stories I liked pretty well. But some of the stories weren't constructed very well, or were unsettling--and not in a way I enjoyed.But I like the cover.
I love short stories. These are just what short stories should be--a little weird, a little surprising, and very satisfying. Some are kind of gross. If seeing life from the point of view of the villain doesn't appeal to you, you might want to skip this.
