A review by dcumberland
The Shell Collector by Anthony Doerr

4.0

This collection really shows Doerr sharpening his storytelling. The stories are paced extremely well and also give an appreciated insight into the reverence he holds for humans interested in the natural world: shell collectors, hunters, photographers, and others are all represented in the stories.

Unfortunately, the more interesting stories come first instead of being distributed throughout, but each story is still worth a read. This is still one of the best collections as a whole I've read!
