Couldn't get very far into this book so I stopped only about 20 pages in.....

Overall, I liked the writing better than the content of most of the stories. I did find the basic ideas of some of the short stories thought provoking, but I was sometimes offended by the direction Englander pursued. For me, the title story was by far the best; however, I did learn from some of the other stories.
