While it's an interesting collection of stories, I wished for a bit more depth in some of the narratives. That said, the book still provided a few chuckles. Some of the anecdotes seemed a little repetitive, but overall it’s a good casual read. The book took a bit longer to arrive than expected, but it was well-packaged and in great condition once it did.
