There are not enough good things I can say about this collection of short stories by Dr. Appel. The title alone contains the most appropriate word - Amazing! I enjoyed every single one of these tales even though several of the characters were quite unlikable. All of the stories had the ability to draw me into the scenario and make me think and, after all, isn’t that hat a good writer does? I will most definitely be following Dr. Appel and continuing with more of his work. My highest recommendation!
