Customer Reviews
Not for me - weird writing style, strange stories, awful experience
I really did not enjoy reading this collection of short stories. It is a genuine struggle to get through a single page of this book. I deeply regret buying this. The stories rarely make sense much like the short stories I wrote at age 8. I really had to force myself to power through. If I could give myself a piece of advice - don’t buy this book and do a bit more research. Find simple texts like Marvel fumetti. Something engaging. I’m not calling this book a scam but I definitely feel like I could have used my money better. This is my experience and may not reflect anyone else’s experience. I hope people who buy this find it useful it just is not useful to me and my learning style.
