Time For Me To retire from Reviewing!!!

Noted that all the reviews for this collection of short stories are wonderful, it therefore pains me to admit that I haven't got a clue about what is good and what isn't. I found the stories different, I agree, but no different to all the many other short story collections that I've read, in that I found them totally unfulfilling. In most cases the short story is either horrible - you know those little beauties that leave you hanging in mid-air at the end, awaiting a decent finish - or they're good and when it finishes you're left begging for more. This collection, I found, was somewhere in between - quirky, but in trying to turn to the next page you find the story has simply ended. Sorry, still searching for that elusive "Holy Grail" collection of wholely satisfying short stories. This isn't it.
