This book was a bit jumbled all over the place, but that is expected in an anthology with a group of different authors. I was pleased with David Levithan’s piece, but I am an appreciator of most of his work. It was great to see all of the pieces’ perspectives. I just wish it were a bit longer.
I liked this book. It was interesting seeing so many takes on the same prompt. It also was nice that it was a collection of stories about collections so it was a story in itself in how humans collect stories just as much as they do physical objects or memories. I would reccomend this book.
Honestly, this book wasn’t too bad, and I had fun reading it. This is my first short story collection, so I didn’t really know what to expect, but I really liked reading different people’s takes/stories on collections and how crazy a collection can be. I never knew what was going to happen next, and I really liked that aspect. Some stories were boring, while some were next-level confusing. But overall, I flew through it pretty quickly and had a good time reading!
I quite enjoyed this collection, and I’d recommend it to a friend. Some of the stories did bore me, and I found myself checking how many pages were left of certain ones, but I like how each author has their own writing style and voice. Also, I enjoyed reading why the characters collected the types of fire, show memorabilia, aprons, etc. The collection casts characters from all different backgrounds, which, in my opinion, kept the book interesting. This was my first time reading a book made of many different stories, and even though not all of the stories piqued my interest, I’m glad I read it.
Overall, I didn’t really like this book. However, some of the stories were good. My favorite was A Recording for Carole Before It All Goes. I thought the Museum of Misery was very interesting.
