Review 354: Liberation Day

Liberation Day: Stories by George Saunders
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Initial thoughts: Not sure why it took me so long to read that last story, it wasn't very long. Anyway, a few thoughts on the collection:

This is a collection of nine short stories. About half of the stories are fairly short, while the others are much longer, taking up most of the book. A few feel a bit gruesome, and may make one shudder with the contents, this is not due to gore, but for how humans may treat other people.

There is a bit of variety, and the author portrays different characters easily with just a few lines. All are intriguing providing a different way of looking at being human, living life in your own way.

Thanks to Random House and NetGalley for an uncorrected electronic advance review copy of this book.
