My response to this one is mixed and has varied based on what kind of reading experience I was looking for when I read it.

The first story alone is worth buying this book. What intricacies! What an ending.

Make an omelet, peoples! This book be like at least a stumbling Kelly Clarkson.

Sean Lovelace, wow. What a collection of flash fiction. It's a really quick read but you will want to read it again and again and again. That's what happens when flash is done well. And he does it better than well. I may change my rating from 4 stars to 5.
