This book was just not my cup of tea. I usually don't read short stories to begin with, as by the time I'm invested, the story ends. I wanted to give it a try because i was looking for an easy read between "heavier" books. I found specifically  the dialogs to be to silly and sometimes unnatural,  even for the time this book was published.  The stories felt messy and disjointed.  It was difficult to determine what the narrative of each story was.
