I'm not its target consumer, but I read the book not too long ago because the "worldwide" idea of it intrigued me. In the end I didn't really like it all that much.

I don't mind the short-story aspect of the book, or even knowing (since it all happened in the past and they're telling the story) that the main characters of each story survive. I just didn't find most of the stories so very interesting and some were quite boring.

I would've rated it one star out of five, but I did still like the reason I initially read the book in the first place - that the idea is international, so the stories take place all over the world in various cultures, which is interesting, and a few of the stories are good, so I bumped its rating to two stars for those reasons.
