"If each and every story in this collection were perfect, I would give it five stars. Some are; some aren't, but I will re-read each and every one of them again and find every story Raymond Carver has ever written."
"These short stories were compiled into a book and made into a 1993 Movie by Robert Altman - they are dark, but good. The characters find out the things they didn't know about people, maybe didn't want to"
"I feel dumb rating a book that inspired a film with as many amazing actors as this one had so low. My lack of a developed critical sense probably made me hate these stories, but due to personal failings or no, hate them I did. They made me feel very, very hopeless, with no prospect of uplift. I don't like that."
"In this book of short stories, Carver writes about everyday people and manages to make the mundane dramatic which may be the reason Robert Altman chose to adapt it to film. Carver was a master at directness and concise dialog. He didn't clutter his prose with distracting descriptions. His stories are funny and shocking at the same time. In fact, I almost felt guilty enjoying them--like I was listening in on a party line or looking over my neighbor's fence."
