Review of 'Fragile Things' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

As with previous collections of short pieces by Gaiman, I found this extremely variable in quality: Anything referred to as "poetry" is execrable, as are all the "stories" that are extremely short and fail to follow any normal narrative structure. On the other hand, the pieces that follow some kind of conventional method are all at least OK and in some cases delightful.

Stand-out entries are A Study in Emerald and How to Talk to Girls at Parties.
