The book consists of 9 short stories with the main title as one of the stories which was later made into a feature film. Some of the stories were good, others were OK. Usually short stories suffer from lack of depth in building the events or in character development and this book was no exception here. Some of the stories were questioning the morals of people without pinpointing directly which is a good thing.
I think the book should be read at least one time, so I would recommend it.
