Appraisal:
A unique and interesting collection of short stories. Each of the main
characters in the stories were working through a significant event or change in
their life, and observing how they dealt with them compared to how the reader
or people they know have reacted to similar things is great to get the reader
thinking about life and the differences in how different people approach it.
