I wanted to like this collection, and I did like a few individual stories, or at least pieces of individual stories. But the writing, while brilliant, felt a little gimmicky to me. Michaels prose is fantastic, and the book should be read simply for this reason. But the overall power of the collection felt flat to me. Perhaps I missed something.
