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.
