Something for Everyone taught me a few things about my preferences in literature. I finished the first story, didn't much care for it and then looked on the back of the book where it described Lisa Moore as a celebrated stylist. Not totally sure what a it meant to be a stylist writer, I looked it up. Stylist basically means an author with a distinct or unique style of note. This made sense to me and helped to prepare me for the remainder of the book.
I try to seek out different styles of writing by unique voices. I can't complain about this book in that regard. It's certainly unique. Almost every short story in this collection has one or two ideas or images that are really strong, or compelling that get completely buried under a style that is maddening.
A story will frequently start out small and intimate with one or two characters being the focus of the story. As the story goes on, those characters will start internalizing events that involve other characters. Then the story will switch to follow those side characters. And throughout all of this, there is no punctuation when two people speak to each other. For the whole book. So you'll be on a side character story thinking about something that may (or may not) relate to the main characters story and then it'll jump back into the main story and you'll have no idea where you are or what is happening. Worse, you won't care much to put in the effort to follow what is happening.
There are a few times when the style works in the books favor but those moments are too few and too far between.
After I had finished it, I sat down to write out my preference of the stories. There are ten stories and I couldn't remember more than four. You could argue that I didn't put in the effort and try to meet the book in the middle, but with an engaging book, it should come to you.
