The Collectors: Stories by A.S. King

emotional mysterious reflective medium-paced

3.0

All of these authors really stuck hard to the theme of collecting, some a little too much on the nose for my taste. Out of all of the stories I like A Recording for Carole Before It All Goes the best. Play House grew on me the more I thought about it, as did Ring of Fire. Pool Bandits was good but drug on a bit. The White Savior Does Not Save the Day was interesting and I liked mix of story and screenplay. Overall this was a very mixed bag and I don’t necessarily know who to recommend this to or which stories I could use with classes and probably wouldn’t have bought it for my school library if it hadn’t had won the Printz.
