I don't normally go for short stories, I've always been more of a novel gal. I picked up this book purely based on the premise. It's something that most of us have either done as kids or as a party game. Taking the ending line of the story before to start the next story. You have to build the story around just a few words. And the collection of stories truly comes full circle because the beginning of the first story is also the ending of the last story. I really enjoyed this collection.
I really enjoyed most of the stories. There were a couple that didn't really appeal to me as a person, but I think it's more because of my taste than the writing or the story itself. Each story was filled with good characters and a good plot. Even in the limited space of the short story, the author was able to quickly draw me into each story and I was left satisfied each time and looking forward to the next story when I saw that last line.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes short stories but also to anyone wanting to experience something a little different from the everyday novel.
