4.0 out of 5 stars a taste of lemonade

On a summer afternoon is when one must read these stories. Sure, some of the concepts are a product of plagiarism but somehow it doesn't detract from its overall value.. Stranger things have happened.

3.0 out of 5 stars it was just ok

A couple of the short stories were good and Freaky Jules was even better. This book, and all the short stories, need an editor.
I'm glad I downloaded it for free. I wouldn't mind reading more of the Freaky Jules stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short story collection well worth grabbing.

I enjoyed this collection of short stories and without going into each story I will say they are well written and will make readers think about a few things they may not of before. The author does a great job and I found all the stories interesting. Included are a couple of interesting tales of Freaky Jules and I am looking forward to reading more about Jules and have another book by this author I will be reading soon. Readers can find a couple of sneak peaks at the end of this collection.
