Review: I'm in the minority...

At the time that I write this review, there are currently 14 other reviews all with 5 stars.  I am giving this 3 stars because I didn't find anything truly outstanding about this book.Most of the stort stories are in a first-person point-of-view, as told by Adam.  However, there are a few that are not and I found that confusing.  Also, there is one story (Michigan) in which the narrator refers to himself as Noah.  Who is Noah?  Later in another story, when Adam speaks of losing his grandmother, I can only assume that it was Adam at the hosptial/nursing home.  Why he said his name was Noah, I still do not know.The final issue I have with the book is that some of the sentences I had to read over and over again.  They were phrased so strangely that they barely made sense.  I could have though of many other ways to have written those sentences and I am by no means a writer.The collection of stories all and all were good, not great.  The bottomline is: I wasn't hooked and I did not feel the urge to read every chance I got, as I do with REALLY good books.
