I chose this book because for a reading challenge I needed to read a book with a skyscraper on the cover. However, I did not realize that this was a book of short stories. In my opinion, the 1st story was SO good that it COULD have and SHOULD have been made into a full length novel- it would have been amazing! --Jen from Quebec :0)

Strange
Very hard to follow this story. Many times I had to re-read parts over and over to understand what had happened.
Give this one a pass.

This is a collection of short stories, I think are all supposed to be horror. I read about half of them, and each one was confusing and made no logical sense. The sentences were constructed oddly, a few grammar mistakes here and there, and just.... well... confusing stories. Mister Mimal was a jumble to try to figure out. Maybe if each story was stretched into a novel instead, it would have been better. Just way too much going on in such a short amount of time.

The most mixed matched book of short stories I've read yet. Each story was more confusing then the last, leaving me thinking, "WTF did I just read?!!" Not even a common theme.
I'm rating this book 2 stars... one for the attempt at entertaining an audience, and one for the bravery of actually publishing it and putting yourself out there.

Not at all what I was expecting. A series of short stories that each take a bit to figure out what is going on, and in the end learn what is going on and never learn what was going on. Confusing, but somewhat thought-provoking.

Interesting
I like how the book is written and the creativity. I enjoyed the fact that the description by the author built up the stories wonderfully.

Yeah
Ummm, it was ok. did not expect a whole bunch of little stories.
I did expect one full story, so thanks for ruining it.

Was surprised to find this to be a book of short stories. I did enjoy them as horror stories, but felt that the reader should have been warned that the first story was very short - hmmph

Really didnt enjoy the book. I wasn't able to appreciate the style of writing. Not for me.

Full of surprises
I didn't know what to expect but it certainly wasn't this! -- fantastic collection of short horror stories! Author Carter takes the reader to unimaginable places... and quite often leaves the reader there. If you require happy endings to the stories you read, don't bother with this collection.
