I enjoyed this work of short-stories, it didn't bother me at all that some seemed to start in the middle of the story.  Each was unique and gave me something to think about.  The stories were varied in all ways and some of the ideas were way out there and yet not all at the same time.I've worked in a call center....enough said if you have worked in one also.  Population explosion?  Is this the way we would handle that if it happened?  I sure hope not since every day I get older and not younger.  Some children are less attractive than others, but a real monster?  Hummmmm......I have known people who have tied to find happiness at the bottom of the ice cream pail...I really enjoyed the ending to this one.  The last was interesting to say the least.I believe that everyone can find a story in this short collection that they could enjoy and maybe even identify in a very small way.  Libby has done an excellent job of taking the reader to a place they don't usually go and making them think outside of the literary box.  This collection is short and can be read in a small amount of time and yet enjoyed much longer.  Give it a try I don't think you will be disappointed.  Short stories make a nice break in a long list of must-read novels.
