I listened to the audiobook alongside reading the book, especially after seeing that the cast of narrators included quite a few voice actors/actresses who appeared in the show. They brought so much life to each story and I think made the book even more enjoyable for me. Like any short story collection, some stories were a little duller than others, but again, I think the audiobook really saved those less interesting ones, and highly recommend listening to it.

I found some of the stories a bit strange and slow, thus the 3 stars.
re-read: july 12
(changed rating from 3 stars to 2)
the book is funny, and really captures the human experience through not-so-human stories. however, nearly none of the stories struck me as very significant, nor excellent. i really enjoyed very few (like the Circus Cashews). the rest was sort of just... meh.

The author has a really unique voice and every story is completely different. I thought some dragged a bit too long.
