Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.This was a very interesting collection of short stories. Every story dealt with relationships, but some in a healthier way than others. My two favorites would probably be the first and last ones, “A Vacation on the Island of Ex-Boyfriends” and “An Interrogation at the Prison of Ex-Girlfriends”—fitting bookends as the titles imply—which had a sort of fantasy feel to them. I also liked “The Challenge of Acting Normal” which was perhaps the happiest of these rather somber tales.
Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.Enjoyed this collection, particularly the title story, A Vacation on the island of Ex-Boyfriends.
I wished this story had been a little bit longer, as it had an interesting premise.

Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.The title of this book intrigued me, so I picked this book as an Early Reviewer and then had a hard time getting to it. I always had something better to read. Finally when I started reading this book I realized it was not a novel but short stories. The first story gave me some food for thought and it was cleverly written, however I did not like the other stories as much. I agree with one of the other reviewers and was looking for some theme to run throughout the book.

As for the book, while I enjoy short stories, I do not enjoy a collection that reads like a woman telling all her regrets. I was expecting one story about ex-boyfriends, but instead I got ALL the ex-boyfriends. This bored me.
Not only was it boring for me to read, I can only imagine how boring it must be for one author to write. Perhaps if this had been a collection from many authors... but it wasn't.… (lisätietoja)
