Review: Tenth of December

Tenth of December by George Saunders
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. Yes, I liked some more than others, but I think that is always the case when you are reading a book that is many separate stories.

My favorite stories were Victory Dance, Escape From Spiderhead, and The Semplica Girls Diaries. I liked these stories because they surprised me. I did not expect the direction they took when I started them. It is not often a story so draws you in that you don't see the darkness until it has completely surrounded you. These stories were not what they seemed at first and I liked the unexpected inevitability of them.

I highly recommend this collection of stories.
