Didn’t Like It

Rated 2 stars

“After reading 22 stories, I had to give up the ghost.

This volume, however, doesn't carry the same energy from story to story. They're clever but uninteresting. Therefore, I'm putting this book down. I'll probably keep it and pick it up again later.

Peace,
"Guided by the Ancestors"”
