The premises of the stories are very different... What one can find and expect from the present set of short stories, these stories stand quite apart. The plots range from sensitive topics like bisexuality to fewer known topics like the lives of military personnel, their hardships, bizarre experiences owing to the risks they take etc. What uniquely binds all the seventeen stories is the way they end. All the stories have an intelligent ending which makes the reader think about the plot even after finish reading the book. That’s what takes this book to the next level. Only shortcoming is the book cover, which could have made it a better read anytime. Our rating of the book is 4.
