Overall, an OK collection of short stories. However, they all tend to follow the same formula. Thus making reading them a bit tedious after a while. And would someone please hire the author/publisher an editor?! Or I'll volunteer for the job. There are few things worse when reading a book, after having paid for the privilege, than to have the tome peppered with misspellings and a myriad of syntax and grammatical errors. Some can be chalked up to a key being struck wrong when the book was being written. But one would hope that 'spellcheck' would have been used at some point. Whatever the case, the errors and just plain gross oversights at times are such that they almost left me embarrassed for the author. Instead I just felt pity, and a bit of shame. If he didn't know better, someone in the publishing pipeline should have.
