Why I gave up consuming this — 4 years ago

I read the first two stories and that was more than enough.

A story about this — 5 years ago

This has to be the weirdest set of stories ever. Ever. I kept reading, wondering if I was missing some obvious symbolism or deeper meaning. In the end, I don’t think I missed it, it just wasn’t there.

That is not to say it was a bad collection. Not at all. It was a bit of a chore to read because they were so weird, like science fiction inhabiting another universe that you have to become familiar with only with a short story, there’s not much time to figure it out much less become familiar with it. And some of the stories, I actually became attached to.

I liked it well enough that I plan to send it to my artistic best friend for her to read. I disliked it enough that I will send the copy of the book away without my name and phone number in it — I just as soon not have it on my shelves.
