Not as amazing as Mr. Peanut but still worth reading. ( )

An excellent book, reminiscent of Raymond Carver's seminal collection about how we live and love. Almost every character could narrate their own novel - and I can't wait for Ross's next one. ( )

Ordinarily I don't read short stories as a genre of choice, but my son gave Ladies and Gentlemen a rave review, so I thought I'd give it a try.

The characters in each story are well-drawn, and the plots are straight-forward and captivating. There is an underlying theme of doubt/mistrust/deception throughout, whether it be of the character himself or of others around them.

I read "Mr Peanut" so I looked forward to reading this new collection of short stories. Ross shows the dark side in these stories but they are incredibly creative and unique. I enjoyed the ambiguity of the endings because that is how life is. There was not a lot of humor but that was not what these stories are about. I measure a book by how I feel when I finish it. This one ended way too quickly. Ross is a talented writer and I look forward to reading his future output. I recommend him to all readers. ( )

I normally don't care too much for short stories but I loved Adam Ross's Mr. Peanut so much that I had to pick up his collection of short stories. These stories were haunting like Mr. Peanut. They reminded me of Twilight Zone episodes because most of them ended with a dark moral and seemed eerie. I enjoyed most of them but was left wanting more. I thought some of them ended too abruptly.

I may just not be a short story person and I also think I had my hopes up way too high for this collection after reading Mr. Peanut. I think that's why I felt unsatisfied these stories. I think they were good, just not as good as Mr. Peanut. If you haven't read either, read this one first so your expectations aren't over the top like mine were. ( )

For all the charm of Ross’s plots—which he definitely does not treat like a hair in the soup—there’s something deadening about the pile-up of so many similar protagonists.
