Musings...

This collection had a unique, dreamy quality—almost like fragments of thoughts or daydreams woven into brief stories. Each chapter seemed like it captured a moment, though I found myself wishing for more variety in the narrator's tone to bring a sense of distinction to each piece. Without shifts in tone, I struggled to connect emotionally with the stories and it left me feeling a bit detached from the overall experience. It reminded me of reading entries from a dream journal, where the stories are open-ended and free-flowing. I found it intriguing but perhaps not as engaging as I’d hoped.

Soothing narration and eclectic stories

The soothing narration is a wonderful addition to the eclectic stories told. Following the "journey " is a great way to pass my driving time.
