These People Are Us: Stories
reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


I was disappointed in this book. The stories are well written, but in the final analysis, I thought his themes were repetitive. There were about three basic stories-- got a wife, gained a wife, lost a wife-- without enough variance to engage. I found myself trudging through to the end of the book on principle more than interest. Perhaps if I had read each individually, as standalone offerings in magazines etc, I would have found the stories more appealing. I've read this type of fiction/short story in the past, but this author didn't click for me.
