Instantly became one of my all time favorites. To call it just a collection of short stories would be selling this book extremely short. It tells a different story each chapter, each with a different tone or style than the previous one. I love each one of these stories, which are beautifully written. The PowerPoint chapter sounds like something that can't possibly that good, but it's probably my favorite of the book. 
 I loved the characters and as you read these stories, you see how these characters are related to one another in some way. It's kind of like Pulp Fiction or Crash in a way. Or like an album where each song stands on it own, but you can see an overall theme or connection. 
 Bottom line, this is one of the most creative and brilliant books I've had the pleasure of reading.
