How I review each collection…

• After a very short introduction to each story story collection, I assign a percentage (%) score to the book as a whole.

• I achieve this number I assign each story either a score of Great/Good (+1), Average (+0.5), or Poor/DNF (0).

• Good/Average/Poor are my attempt to be objective.

  • Great/DNF are entirely personal.

    • Great stories are stories I love, that I want to reread immediately, that I want to share with everyone.

    • DNF (Did Not Finish) are stories that I actively can't bear to keep reading. Stories that "life is too short waste time on."

• The point total is divided by the number of stories in the book to achieve a final % score.

• I’ll also list the number of each type of story.

  • EX: a 50% score for a 10 story book could be 5 good / 0 average / 5 poor. Or it could score 50% for 0 good / 10 average / 0 poor.

• In the review, I will also discuss a little bit about every story in the collection, to help people determine if they’d enjoy reading it.
