 The reviewer of this book from Barnes & Noble wrote that even though none of the eleven short-stories are out of the ordinary, the author does however find strange goings on.This reviewer surmises that this collection of stories is uneven and the style of writing can make for monotonous reading.According to John Pilling  there is insistent use of the present tense used throughout the book that produced in the mind of this reviewer "a kind of literary indigestion".
