Title: Pleasant spin
Product review: The simplicity of Keret's writing makes these short stories easy to read. And they are short. Seriously short; as in two or three pages. And within these few paragraph Keret makes such immediate and unexpected turns, it almost made me dizzy, and always left me thinking.I got this book after seeing the movie Wristcutters, which soon became one of my favorites. The last story in this collection is the basis for the film adaptation, and the only difference between this and the movie was that the brevity of speech in the book voiced more angst than what came across in the other. All of the stories have a very youthful element, from the characters age, to the situations, to their reactions.All in all I was pleased with this find. It was not a particularly affecting book, but I certainly plan on looking into Keret other works after this experience.
