Selected Short Stories featuring Cinderella Shoes - Review

Selected Short Stories featuring Cinderella Shoes by Nickolas Wilson.  Original review on goodreads.

3/5 stars

This is a collection of short stories ranging from topics of robots, juvenile delinquents and as many other topics that you could imagine.  The vast range of topics is what I found to be the least pleasing about this collection.  The stories were well written and from the most part I enjoyed the ones that were on topics I was interested in.  

Stiletto and Cast were my favorites, both characters were very real and ironically very human.  Reformatory was my least favorite due to its violent ending I was unprepared for.

My largest critique is that the table of contents was very simplistic and with a breadth of topics like this and vague titles It was very difficult to know if I would like a story until I was mostly finished with it.  In one instance there was a story I read and was all but a few paragraphs from the end when I realized it was going to have a bloody and horrific ending.  Had I known that I would not have read that piece.  What I would have loved to see was the title and a few words of metadata on the subject matter so I could make an informed opinion. (Yes I know that information is available on the goodreads sight, but it would have been nice in the context of the book it self).  

Overall I would recommend the book but if you are squeamish or picky, have goodreads open so you are aware of what is coming in each of the very different reads.
