When I read this book I was thoroughly disappointed. I don't think it had anything to do with the book itself as much as the fact that I was so tired of short stories that I could not get myself into reading it. The stories themselves were fairly good, but I could not get into them because I was looking for a solid novel to read.
"The Wizards of Perfil" bothered me a lot. Because of the odd character names like "Onion", I couldn't even keep track of who was male and who was female. That particular story dragged on and on and didn't give me a satisfying ending.
I hope everybody else was more satisfied with this book. The Graveyard Book and The Little Stranger were so much easier for me to read (even though Bailey was right when she said not a lot happens in The Little Stranger). I hope everybody is trucking along in the reading too. Gotta finish the little books and tackle Under the Dome soon!

Under the Dome... duh duh duh. And I actually enjoyed Link's "modern" f-ed up fantasy tales. They are written in modern times, some set in the past, but all have significant differences from the ones we read at the beginning of the semester, and I think she does a good job of creating new stories for the new reader (hardy har). P.S. Heart Shaped Box rocks. Fast, easy to read, and dirrrtttyyy. Little Stranger can SUCK it.
I didnt mind the book as a whole but I definitely think she skimped on some of the endings. I completely agree with the wizards story and it was by far my least favorite
