Although the stories are tales, it is good that most of them deal on contemporary issues. I strongly believe that reading this book will give me the author's perspective on some important issues since they drawn upon his experience.

This book, which contains twenty-two short stories would delight anyone. I liked the fact that they dealt with varied topics. I liked the story of Toby. Does he marry the prostitute is a curious question.

I like that it contains 22 short stories. The fact that they are funny is an additional advantage. It will make them easy to sift through in a whim.

The wide range of themes discussed in short story collections is what makes them special, and this one seems no different. This sounds like a great book, and your review shows how much you enjoyed this book. Well done on the review.

A compilation of short tales, one of which describes how Toby's father drove him to Michigan City to engage in some sex, where he met Brandi, a part-time prostitute with a golden heart. Superb assessment.

A collection of short stories are one of my favorite things to read. But I especially like this book because of how connected these stories are. I love that the characters in some of the stories are recurrent which shows the extent of the character development of the book. Congratulations on BOTD.

I have to admit that the author's writing style is quite intriguing. I love the little twist of plot here and there, and also the humor this book contains. I'm particularly interested in Toby Dawes' story, I want to know how his love life turned out. Congratulations on BOTD.
