this book just isn't my thing there are moments when you think the author is actually telling you something and then they just fizzle out. For me it is a nonentity

I liked the stories in this collection. Written about normal, everyday things, they represent a slice of life.
Good collection.

I've read short stories (because what would high school English be without them?) but had never read any flash fiction until this. These are short stories, just even shorter. Still, compared to the "micro fiction" on Twitter - stories in 160 characters or less - these are epic. I like the challenge of a narrative in this concise format. This short volume was hit and miss to me, more hit than miss, and the advantage of the format and my skippy short-term memory was that the misses didn't stay in mind for very long.
