Often short story collections are a mixed bag, but none of the stories in this collection were weak. There were very few that I felt were somewhat average or just didn't strike my fancy, but none in the collection were bad. I loved the writing style, the words he selected (I happily looked up many words), the emotional tone. Some stories spoke of optimism, love, acceptance, forgiveness.
