The Curse Of Happiness
The Curse of Happiness is a collection of short stories that finds ordinary people struggling and sometimes failing in extraordinary circumstances.
From a woman faced with a long-awaited but ultimately underwhelming miracle in “Baby Blue Joy” to a man who finds himself face to face with humanity’s most terrifying manifestation, an enraged mob, in “What is mine is Yours”.
Yakusak stretches the limits of the normal human perception of the decisions people take in situations beyond their control. It’s an in-depth examination of the human psyche that is both intriguing and disturbing on a level that interacts with the inner reaches of our subconscious.
The Curse of Happiness weaves exciting stories of how normalcy is a luxury in reality; one we often take for granted.

I would recommend for young readers, light reading, easy read. if you looking for a quick read this is it. plus don't have high expectations it's just a book to pass time.
each short story gets interesting as you progress. some of my favourites were the exorcism of Chat (didn't like how it ended), what is mine is yours, the curse of happiness and spinning in circles. ( I don't like how this one, in particular, ended I hate guessing).

A really good read. Some of the endings were sad. Or not just fun. But I guess that's the aim of the book.
