There were characters that drew me in, and others that did not. Some of the stories followed characters who were plain, everyday type of people. They were or reminisced about their lives that weren't really interesting to me (that is my preference as I love be taken on an adventure). It's not like the characters were written terribly, they in fact had some wonderful characteristics and flaws, but their personalities were not the ones I connected with. However, there were stories of characters that I did enjoy as they made choices that were interesting and different. It made me think more about people and the different lives they live and the way they deal with their choices.
