It's always difficult to rate a group of short stories anyway, and more so in this case as I'm pretty sure there's a lot of depth I'm missing as a casual reader. I'm basing my rating just on my personal enjoyment, and rather than a long and comprehensive review, simply listing out which stories I did or didn't enjoy.
