dark emotional

3.75

I found the stories inconsistent in how much I enjoyed them. SomeI really connected with and others I had a hard time getting into.

The main motivation for reading this was for the Brokeback Mountain story and if course this was the very last one in the book and the best out of them all which is the reason for the extra .25 on this rating.

This was wall written but i didn't enjoy it. This iis not a collection of happy stories by any means.

I loved this short story collection. It was incredibly readable. Each of the stories felt like they were complete and served a purpose within the collection. 

Favorites:
The Bunchgrass Edge of the World
Brokeback Mountain

Meh:
The Governors of Wyoming
