Reviews

[Anita Heveron · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved this! Some of the stories felt disconnected, like you were thrown into the middle of a story & expected to follow along. Others had a lot of technical jargon, but thanks to Google I made it through. Some stories were so touching they deserve 5 stars, some confusing, some boring. But overall a very good read
