Liberation Day by George Saunders

sophia02's review against another edition

3.75

I enjoyed this thought-provoking collection. Every story had a unique voice and explored an interesting setting or person. Even though I didn't love every story, I could still see the value and reason behind all of them. 

Individual story ratings:

Liberation day: 4 stars
The mom of bold action: 2.5 stars
Love letter: 3
A thing at work: 4
Sparrow: 4.5
Ghoul: 4
Mother‘s day: 3.5
Elliot Spencer: 4
My house: 3
