Isabella’s comments from the Read it, AP 2015! group.

Overall I felt that this book was enjoyable and refreshing for the imagination. This rings through especially in the chapter titled Sensation which is about some kind of miraculous tent inside a living room that has become a major attraction in this town. I noticed that the author, while giving an interesting story, leaves room for the reader to imagine what is so special about that tent. It wasn't until a discussion with a friend that I realized how different interpretations of one tent could be and I think it would be interesting to discuss in class how we pictured the tent.

One problem that I found with the book was the conclusions of the stories, or lack there of. All the story felt like they were in the beginning or middle of the book and only few felt like the story had actually ended by the time that they in fact ended. Even though I understand that these are only short stories, as a reader who reads mostly typical, beginning to end novels I found myself frustrated.
