I read this book becuase someone compared this book to books written by one of my favorite authors, Chuck Palahniuk. Well, I started reading, and, although I tried, I just could not enjoy it. I mean, absolutely nothing happens in these stories: characters don't develop, there is no action, nobody goes on a journey, absolutely nothing happens. These stories read as follows: a guy gets up, he goes to the store and buys milk, he walks home, he has a bowl of cereal. That's all that happens in most of these stories. Perhaps I'm missing something, and perhaps there's something I don't know that would make this book make sense, in which case, I apologize for this rant. But really, if you like reading books where stuff happens, then I'd skip this one.
