Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Growing Things and Other Stories by Paul Tremblay


I find it odd that I am not fond of short stories because, so far, all my own work is short.   Regardless of that fact, this was a compilation of Tremblay’s work.  The stories most prevalent theme was some sort of Armageddon.  

The author does not provide a lot of details as to the reason for the various dying societies but instead focuses on the people it affects.  

The darkness of the book is belied by the title but when reading the title, the nature of the growing things is yet to be discovered.

The acceptance of duck feeding was, perhaps, the most succinct depiction of societal end that I have ever read.

The stories are well written but I can’t say I liked the book. 

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
