Friend of My Youth: 4,5
Hold Me Fast, Don't Let Me Pass: 3,5
I only had to read these two for class.
It's challenging to review a book of short stories. Some are amazing (Friend of My Youth, Five Points, Oranges and Apples) and others you struggle to get into (Differently, in particular). But you persist for individual bits of outstanding prose. Maybe a 3.5.
