I feel very middle-of-the-road about this book. On one hand, it was very well written and had a great way of making the reader truly envision the scene. I was drawn into each world, which can be especially difficult when you've chosen to make your stories in such a short format. There is a great deal of talent to bring a reader so completely along for the ride. However, there is where my issues arose- did I want to be along for these rides? Not all the stories were interesting to me, to the same level. There were some descriptions that (while being vivid) were rather unpleasant to read. I suppose some people are a fan of this kind of reading, in favor of pushing their boundaries and expanding horizons. I like the idea of that, and that is realistically why I finished the book. It is also why I'm not giving the book more than three stars.
