Book Reviews of The Shell Collector: Stories
Book Review: A Strong and Memorable book for the Short Story Collector
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book in one day. I could not put it down. I loved the story of the blind shell collector. The descriptions were wonderful. As in any collection, you will probably perceive some stories as weaker than others, based on your tastes. I found the story of the hunter and his psychic wife somewhat precious, and I didn't find Mkondo very believable- but even with those provisos, I'm really glad I read the book, and I would recommend it to anyone who liked good literature.
