    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2019
    I picked this book up just because I wanted to see how you could write a complete story in 50 words. Reading this book redefined for me what constitutes a story. It was well done and the ingenuity sparked new thought processes and inspiration.

    People need more stories like this. I need to read during the odd 5 or less minutes I have free. So will others.
