Naru Saito nullset — Top notch writing by Peter Milligan and appropriately dark and moody artwork.

Mostafa Menshawy mostafaabdelwanis807 — An uneven collection of stories. Enjoyed "Sawdust" and "Blue Lick," two stories told from a youngster's perspective that threw out poisonous humor in daggers. The stories were no less insightful on matters of living in the hollow. I found "House Raising" to be Offutt's finest writing, a deep tone and dark atmosphere maintained throughout that was nothing short of masterful. "Nine Ball" was a little too much on billiard balls, but it also got down and dirty. At other times, I found these stories similar to Ron Rash's formula----grabbing subject matter that will appeal to outsiders who want to read about an exotic Appalachia more than understand it. He takes us down yet more roads of Melungeons, marijuana patches, and medicine men. "The Leaving One" particularly sank as hopelessly hokey, reminding me of Gloria Naylor's Mama Day, superficial cheese. The best of these stories are four and five stars, but the other half takes away from the overall collection.

Bruna Becegatto brubecegatea42 — I've been wanting to read this collection for a while because it contained the short story "Benjamin Button", upon which the movie was based. Unfortunately, I was fairly disappointed in that particular story, as it felt so inconsequential and lackluster. There were a few stories I did enjoy, namely, "The Camel's Back", "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz", and "The Lees of Happiness". I'm not sure these particular stories make up for the disappointment of "Benjamin Button" and several other stories, but at least the book as a whole was redeemed by them. In the end, it could be I am not cut out to read short stories: by the time I have figured out who the characters are, it's over!

Juliana Ordeas julianaordeas — I'm on the fence so I'm going to say 3.5 stars. Full review at my blog -- The Perpetual Page-Turner
