This was a compulsory school literature book. I enjoyed reading most of the short stories however all of them ended with death and housed some aspect of cruelty towards animals, the morals were incredibly clear. I would not read the chimpanzee one again as it just didn’t feel right and made me feel so violated that I felt distressed for days after. Overall I did really enjoy this book, especially as it opened opportunities for me to read more short stories in the future!
