    <body><![CDATA[&quot;It was ok&quot; is the definition of 2 stars, and that's about right.  This book is a bunch of short stories that represent the last thoughts of people who were decapitated.  A &quot;schtick&quot; book.  The problem is I found myself thinking numerous times &quot;really? these are the last thoughts of this person?&quot;  Some I found good, but it was too much of a mixed bag.  ]]></body>
