- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was surprised by how many of these stories I didn't like. Mostly they seemed inert. Predictable. Overly familiar. Varied by still very much of a type. I liked "Audition" and "Letter of Apology," "Omokase," and "They Told Us Not to Say This," but even ones that seemed promising didn't go anywhere effective.
