Reviews

[Susan Katz]

Pretty boring.

I enjoyed the short stories in this collection. I skipped the nonfiction and read only a few of the poems, as I was reading the short stories for a sort of 'assignment.' There were only a couple of stories I didn't finish, one not being of a 'genre' I could get into and the other was not really a style I liked, though I could tell they were well-written and can see why others would like them. Many of the stories were affecting, either hitting me hard (in a good way) or making me smile.
