i hate to start the year this way, but it can't be helped.

the book was kinda tiresome? now, some short stories were quite alright and i had high hopes after the first one, shoko's smile. but the stories got worse and worse and by the end i could barely finish the book. 
the concepts are good, so i don't really know what put me off so much. perhaps it was the writing, or the pace, i'm not sure.
