Two remarkable stories stand out
Bewertet mit 3 Sternen
The Children’s Lottery
My favorite story of the collection, disturbing and thought-provoking. *****
Jury of Matrons
My least favorite story of the collection - this simply wasn't my cup of tea. *
Gable’s Whiskers
Simple, yet sentimental and sad. ***
Burrowing in Exile
It's a little bit funny...but then not too much. **
Tracking Harold Lloyd
OK, but not very memorable to me. **
Next of Kith
Another sad piece about the ephemeral ways of life. ***
Right of Way
Kind of a coming-of-age story. ***
A Change of Plumage
Hilarious. ***
The Desecration at Lemming Bay
Another story I read but forgot about almost immediately after. **
The Amazing Mr. Morality
Now that was a great story again! *****
Overall, this was an interesting collection, different from my usual genres. Due to the fact that the author reused most of the names repeatedly in the different stories, I got the impression everything was connected, but it also added a certain level of confusion. While most stories already start to blur in my memory, I will definitely remember the first and last piece, which make reading this collection worthwhile.
