The book itself is beautiful, the content is just ok. The collection of stories it contains is certainly noteworthy, and that makes it worthwhile if you just want to catch up on those very specific storylines. However, the filler text reads like it was written by a college intern - it's childish, trite, and at times, offensive in a way that only a high schooler can be. Reading it stem to stern can be a bit jarring.
