## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Wonderful short stories
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2017*

I have liked Chabon's writing for many years. Just found this delightful book of short stories. Poignant and very human. All the little details in the scenes in which the characters play out their feelings give the stories a kind of reality in which we can suspend our knowledge that it is fiction.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not Chabon's best, but still very impressive
  

*by W***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2012*

I love Michael Chabon. He's my favorite contemporary author, and one of my favorite writers of all time. I loved "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh," Chabon's first novel, published around the same time as these stories. This collection consists of:S AngelOcean AvenueA Model WorldBlumenthal on the AirSmokeMillionairesThe Little KnifeMore than HumanAdmiralsThe Halloween PartyThe Lost WorldThe book itself is divided into 2 sections. Everything up to and including "Millionaires" are unrelated stories, while everything after is a series of vignettes concerning Nathan Shapiro as he grows up. Overall, the first section leaves something to be desired. These stories lack any real resolution, or fitting endings for that matter. They feel unfinished, like Chabon got tired of the stories so tacked on a few paragraphs at the end to tie things up.Part two, on the other hand, is the Chabon I know and love. He still follows the same formula as before for the most part (no real resolutions) aside from the last one, but I thought that was fine here. I knew I would get to see the characters in the next story, so wrapping everything up wasn't as big a deal here.Readers might be a bit disappointed with some of stories, but on the whole they are very good. This is a must have for Chabon fans.
