Raphael Bob-Waksberg took this concept to a completely new level though! He switched between topics, moods, genres, themes, emotional approaches, underlying meanings, usage of stylistic devices & many more with every single narrative! I rated the 18 stories with an average of 3.8/5, & was deeply touched by many of them. This man is not only a storyteller, but a poet! An artistic genius; an incredibly skilled multitalented mastermind & comedian!!!

4.5
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.
