I love Daniel Waters and I fell in love with the Generation Dead series in 2007 when I got my hands on an ARC of GENERATION DEAD (the first in the series) at an English teachers conference. I've reviewed all of the book and posted a Q & A with him over the years.

I was very excited when I saw the news about this ebook of short stories set in the Generation Dead world. I read through it in one night and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know some of the minor characters from the series.

STITCHES contains four short stories - each following a different character.

HOW’S LIFE

This story gives us a look at Margi and Colette's friendship. This is nice because in the other books we only see a glimpse of this complex relationship.

DOLL PARTS

This was my favorite story of the collection. It focuses on Sylvia and her time inside the Hunter Foundation. This one is a bit on the creepy side. So cool!

MY DEAD HEART

This one gets us inside Tommy's head. This is great since he didn't play a big role in books two and three. It was nice to read about his feelings about Phoebe and Adam and the goings on back home while he was out of the road fighting for the rights of the Differently Biotic.

PURPOSE STATEMENT

This is probably the most disturbing of all the stories. It follows Popeye and his experiences at school. You really get a sense of his anger in the story.

I loved this collection and I'm not usually a fan of short stories. If you like the GENERATION DEAD series you definitely need to get STITCHES. Right now it is only $2.69 at Amazon and $3.35 at Barnes and Noble. What are you waiting for? Go go go!! Order it.

My favorite part of this book is the short story about Margi and Charlot. The reason being, I always wanted mere. The original story of Margi is heartbreaking, but I wanted to know more about her, and I got the ending I needed to sum up everything.

It's what this book was, a sum up for the four characters tat you always wondered about after the third book.

Silvia story is just creepy honestly a little unsettling but what she went through in the hunters Foundation would be.

those two short stories were my favorites.

I am currently reading the Generation Dead series and I'm in love with them i got hold of the first book through my school library. I just finished reading The Kiss Of Life and moving on to the next book. Daniel Waters is a great author and can really catch a readers attention through his books I can't wait to finish the Generation Dead series so that way I can move on to this book.

Reading about Tommy and Phoebe seeing each other again at school, ugh I need more! I wish this was a tv show. I wish they’d finally get together! 😬

Generation Dead Stitches
4/5 stars


How's Life
5/5 stars

I adored delving deeper into Collet and Margi's relationship and learning of how Collet died, and seeing a very similar thing almost happen to Margi. It was beautiful and poetic and helped me settle into this world so easily.

Doll Parts
3.5/5 stars

It was eerie and disturbing to see what had happened to the differently biotic people who where being experimented on at the Hunter foundation, namely Sylvia. It was a bit slower running then the first story and as wasn't quite as connected as her but overall it was still pretty good.

My Dead Heart
4.75/5 stars

I think I love everything that Daniel Waters writes of this world, I was an avid visitor of mysocalledundeath.com and Tommy was always one of my favorite characters from the series. I loved getting a full length story in his point of view. To know the sadness and thoughts behind such a popular differently biotic boy. I also was really into the new antagonist, the whole religious extremist group should've been more explored in the actual books. The only issue I had with this one is the Tommy just seemed a little to much of a mushy lovesick puppy when it came to Phoebe, I just wish with him being such a strong character that he would be a little less hung up on her.

Purpose Statement
5/5 stars

So... This was clearly the best novella in this book. Popeye is considerably my new book boyfriend. I'm also really into the idea of him and that Derek guy. Drawing and stuff. Popeye is a character that I obviously already knew, from previously reading the trilogy. But I never really knew him until now. I loved his passion for art and his dynamic with everyone. The teachers, Margi, Derek, Tommy, all of them. I wasn't too crazy about the ending of this one, but I understood why he did it that way... Just wow.

The stories were great and I especially enjoyed the first and the last. I give it a three based upon the fact that the stories really leave you hanging. It feels like you are in the middle of a book and it just ends. I also felt that it didn't lend a whole lot of new information about most of the characters. It was good in many ways, but felt too thrown together and the many uncorrected errors in the book made it feel very amateur. I hope he comes back with a solid FULL book that will move these beloved characters forward in their stories.

Four short stories in one. I have been waiting for more from Daniel Waters for this series! I am glad that he continued a little bit of Tommy and Phoebe's story in this one but left me wanting for more especially for Tommy's sake. I want a resolution or closure for Tommy and I hope another book comes out to do that.

I am also glad to see Marge and Colette resolve their issues as well and to find out more about Sylvia's reconstruction.

Having read these novellas just made me want more! Such teasers!

[Briar · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was just a collection of a few short stories, sort of supplemental reading. While I thoroughly enjoyed the other three books, this one seemed rushed, unfinished, and like it needed a good editor. There were typos galore, though it wasn't the worst ebook I've read (as far as grammatical errors and typos are concerned). If you've read the other books in the Generation Dead series, I'd recommend this for a quick read, but don't expect too much.

After reading this I had found a better understanding of each of the characters. I felt more connected with each one. I felt happy, sad, sincere , joyful, hopeful, with each one. I felt what they felt and understood so much more. If you're in love with the series this is a must a read! It will help to connect with each character better.

If I'm honest all I really want is for Daniel Waters to write another book. I miss his writing so much so when I finally got my hands on this it was so satisfying to say the least. Although the stories were shorter than I'd hoped it was nice to see the other characters stories tied up. They answered a lot of questions which was fab.

I loved the first three books but this one felt random and unfinished. It left more quetions unanswered and created new conflict without resolving it. The Generation Dead series is fun, interesting and smart, but this one is boring and frustrating.

[Vanessa · Rating 1 out of 5]

I loved it so much! I loved all the books in the series and this helped give me more insight on the characters that I love.

[Aimee · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed the stories, but wish that the characters were still fresh in my mind...I read the original books a few years ago.
