I've read it however I'm going to have to leaf through the pages before I can vote...If I can't remember something so new I'm guessing I wasn't in love with this one.

Ditto this.

Tough crowd. I went with a four mainly due to The Gingerbread Girl.

[Hannah]

I loved the Gingerbread Girl, but that was all. So it gets a 2.

[Shannon]

I thought this one had some strong stories, and some very forgettable ones.

Strong: "Willa", "The Gingerbread Girl", "N", "A Very Tight Place" (one of my favorites by him)

Medium: "Rest Stop", "Stationary Bike", "The Things They Left Behind". "The Cat From Hell", "Mute"

Forgettable: "Harvey's Dream", "Graduation Afternoon", "The New York Times At Special Bargain Rates", "Ayana"

I'll have to give it a 3.5 and round it up to a 4.

[Jean]

the only two stories I liked were Rest Stop and Mute; Willa was ok, but, like the rest of them, somehow underdone.

I enjoyed rest stop however I think it's only because I live in Florida and can really visualize what he was talking about. The whole thing was just kind off blah.

One of the Never Read group for me, in fact, I always forget that this book exists.

Last chance to vote! The poll is closing!

[candy]

'hum' I cant believe I have never read this. I always thought I had, but went to Wiki and nothing sounded familiar????

[Jean]

I think you have read it, but then it was completely erased from your memory, like it is from mine
