I think the last video game I played all the way through was Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders on the Commodore 64, so I wasn't up on all the video game nerdery, but mostly this was right up my alley. It was a very quick, very light read, but fun.

I gave up meat for a good long while after I finished this one.

Awesome collection of short stories. Disturbing, creepy, funny, weird, amusing; something for everyone, assuming everyone wants sci-fi, fantasy, fractured-fairy-tale-esque short fiction.

Heartwrenching, but I couldn't stop reading.

I'm still feeling like I'm trapped in the mist that covered this book. I found this book occasionally frustrating, and can't say that I loved it as much as some of his other books – at least not after this initial read – but it definitely showed Ishiguro's skill and I enjoyed reading it.
