Sometime ago, the lovely Erin who co-writes our blog, read and reviewed this book of short stories and had the pleasure of doing an author spotlight with Michael on May 3, 2012.So, when the author requested a few more reviews through Shut Up and Read Group on the Goodreads site, I jumped at the opportunity to read it as well.Truthfully, the last story, 'Down the Rabbit Hole', is what really interested me the most about the collection, and due to my personal tastes, what 'made' this book for me.'Down the Rabbit Hole' is about a boy who lives in fear of his father who is abusive. Suddenly one day, his favorite pet bunny begins talking in his head and telling him to do things that end up having a domino effect of disaster. Where one hand, I enjoyed him fighting back for himself against the bullies, certain scenes were a little evil (k lots) and I was pretty glad of the way it ended.Michael Cargill is a pretty witty, funny guy as we had a chance to see during the interview process with him, and I most certainly concur that he is also a very talented author.
