Such an amazing selection of brief stories with fascinating messages. A classic example is the tale of Toby, whose father drove him to Michigan City so he could have some sex, where he met Brandi, a part-time prostitute with a decent heart. A meritorious BOTD an excellent review.

It's good that the book is composed of short stories because the reader doesn't get bored of tired of reading the same thing. The fact that these stories are funny makes it even more appealing.

Checking Facts and More In Probing Tales, a collection of short stories, topics including love, sex, politics, health, and money are discussed in the context of everyday life. These real-life accounts demonstrate to the reader the complexities of life. Some of the stories will undoubtedly offend some readers, while others will simply find them absurd. I admire the author's audacity.Thanks for your review.

I am not a fan of short stories but the approach were same characters continuously go through several stories seems like a great idea. Also the touch of criminal justice brings in a new ways of thinking.

An anthology of sorts, this collection reflects many stages and ages of the author's life. It gives the reader a glimpse into what and how he handled various moments in his life and came through with the ability to share them with others using comedy and wit. I look forward to reading more as the first few pages were captivating. Congratulations on BOTD!

Today's book of the day is a compilation of captivating short stories that would tickle readers' funny bones in the word of the reviewer. However, I think I am more attracted to Toby's sexual experience. Great review and congrats on #BOTD!
