I guess I don't get this collection of stories but I can't figure what it was about them that I missed. The first story, a pretty horrifying abduction attempt, but there was something about the overwhelming internalization of the main character (and probably of the writing style in general) which really sucked the life out of even a situation that dramatic.

The rest of the stories, I found myself flipping through pages, not finding anything engaging for me to want to get deeper into them. It was all very flat, maybe dense, with indistinguishable characters. Some stories, I think were science fiction, but everything was so flat that it was hard to tell. I mostly kept turning the pages because I started it and wanted to finish it. In the end, I probably couldn't tell you what most of the stories were about or what any of the characters were like.
