Looks nice on a shelf & fun to pick up and read one or two entries, but I'm not sure how accurate some of the anecdotes were.

Excellent except that the ending underwhelmed me. It's possible that there was something to get that I just missed, but it seemed like he had hit some sort of predefined page limit and was like “Well, time to wrap it up.”

about five pages into this book i was like “this is not that remarkable, i can basically see where it's going” and then i blinked and it was 1 am and i'd read another 200 pages without getting up. it doesn't go where you think it's going to, and even when it does, it's still pretty moving.

5* esp if you love George Saunders stories
