This collection pulls you in with the very first story and keeps you drawn in until the last page. The storytelling is raw and honest and strikes a chord with the readers in a way they connect with on a real and human level. Too often books focus on the immaterial or the action and they forget about the characters and the dialogue, the true life blood of the story. These stories reverse that trend and strip down storytelling to its most bear bones level: characters and character interaction. It's neither too introspective or too distant, and because it takes its time acclimating the reader to each of the characters, it's never boring. This was a true gem to find, and it's a shame not many people know about this collection of stories because truly good ones are hard to find. I highly recommend this as a read as a nice way to spend a free weekend or relaxing time off.
