I enjoyed all the characters in “Disorder and Early Sorrow,” but I feel like it was too long with too little actual substance.

“Bliss”… My first instinct is to say I didn’t much like it, but after a moment’s consideration… I suppose it’s alright. Not great, but at least good.

“Seeds” was… eh. The prose made it difficult for me to understand what exactly the author was getting at.

I very much enjoyed “Big Blonde.” “Paul’s Case” started off strong, but sort of lost my interest near the end.

I really liked the second one — The Devil and Daniel Webster. I’m halfway through the third, Big Blonde, and I’m enjoying that one too, although it’s a bit long for my liking. Not as easy to read in one sitting.
