"I love Carol Shields, especially her Pulitzer Prize winning, The Stone Diaries. And I bought The Orange Fish hastily thinking it was another great novel. Unfortunately, for me--who is not particularly a short-story fan--this book is a series of twelve unrelated short stories. Each was beautifully written and, as far as short stories go, I am sure they were wonderful. However, since I don't usually read short stories (primarily because they always seem to leave me wanting more in-depth information and more story), I am not Ms. Shields "best reader" in this instance. However, I did like a couple of the stories, found them both amusing and thought provoking, in particular: The Orange Fish and Hazel."
"I love Carol Shields' way with words. In every story I've read by her, there's always at least one phrase that jumps out at me because it's so beautifully written and so apt for what she's conveying. This collection is certainly no different in that respect.
Some of the stories in the collection are much better than others, but there is beauty and truth in each one."
"I'm not sure how long the stories will stay in my mind, but I always find Shields' style beautiful to read. Some of the stories are hopeful, others devastatingly bleak. I especially like the title story and 'Hazel'."
