Your review has completely blown me away! “Fact Check and More Probing Tales” sounds like an absolutely brilliant collection of short stories. Your description of the varied characters, the recurring themes of life, and all the twists and turns has made me want to grab a copy immediately. I’m so intrigued by Toby and his adventures with Brandi, and how the stories have a realistic feel through the use of colloquial language.

It's interesting how broad the topics are in these various short stories. I'm intrigued that it spans such a life, and that there is so much variety though still tells a compelling story about life and those themes. It sounds intriguing and I look forward to diving in to the different stories!

It is interesting how each of the 22 stories is so different and spans such a variety of topics and thoughts. The general theme of "life" is so broad, and yet it truly does sound like it is snapshots of life and how that is what brings people together. I'm intrigued to learn more about each of these different aspects of life.

I read a sample on Amazon and enjoyed it, but I was not going to download the book as I have several I want to get read first. Thanks for writing such a good review, I think I am going to download it now and read the remaining stories at my leisure.

These days I find myself more interested in short stories rather than the standard ones. Maybe that says something about my attention span. :lol: Anthologies of short stories aren't usually my thing because I don't like getting attached to a character only to have the rest of the book have nothing to do with them, but since this one has stories involving reoccurring characters, that's basically all my hang-ups taken care of! Some good, funny reads are exactly what I could use right now, too.

I decided to read this book because the short stories in the free sample seemed so interesting. This book being free is definitely a stroke of luck. The author, James Hanna, definitely seems promising, and I will keep an eye out for them.

The book shows how ridiculous the world can be, with people believing their own lies and making absurd decisions. There are stories where people become obsessed with trivial things while the world collapses around them.
