Orange World and Other Stories by Karen Russell

4.0

Karen Russell really put the creative in creative writing. The way she crafted these stories just blew me away. The plot line for each story was always compelling, and I savored the sentences, which I thought used verbs in a really fun way. In this collection I particularly enjoyed The Prospectors, The Bad Graft, The Gondoliers, and Orange World. A few of the other stories were a little too creepy for me to really connect with them, but the writing was still fantastic, nonetheless. I would recommend this sci-fi compilation to anyone, but especially to people who don't read very often, but enjoy good stories with great twists. The bite-size nature of the stories would even make it a good read for people who have a short attention span when it comes to reading.
