I enjoyed this book. It was very easy to pick up and put down, to consume in bite size chunks. However, I did leave wanting more. This book has the flavor of '100 Years of Solitude' in its use magical realism and the stories were very engaging. But I think that is part of the win and part of why I wanted more. I would sometimes get very into one of the stories such as Lulu, On the Street Where you Live, Gubeikou Spirit, or Beautiful Country and then I would be left at the end wanting more; wanting to explore the concept further, to continue on in the narrative and it was frustrating to have it just end. I think this was especially so for me in On the Street Where you live, this story I feel could have been fleshed out to a full mystery/ thriller novel and was so frustrated with it being just a short story that it ended up being one of my least favorites, just because I felt let down. Overall though this is a beautiful collection of short stories that will leave you wanting more.
