This is not to say that those stories are bad, or not even enjoyable. I just found myself struggling in certain stories to finish them. The stories that stood out most, much like a punch in the face, due to the style and great word play were: The Dairy of Adam and Eve,A Day at Niagara, The Story of a Bad Little Boy, and Cannibalism in the Cars. Those stories I just didn't read to get tot he next page, I let the stories pour into me. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/306277?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
