Einstein's Beach House

First, I should explain that I received a free copy of this book from the author. However, I would have read the book anyway as it was in my to-read list and feel that my opinion wasn't prejudiced.

Jacob Appel has a talent for fleshing out characters and situations quickly and with what feels effortless. Unlike some reviewers, I enjoy short stories, but particularly when the material is so well-crafted. I cannot point out any stories as my favorite and enjoyed each of them for their own merits. These stories stuck to my ribs yet left me hungry to read more of the author's material.
