Dubliners

More like a 3.5/5

Story : Umm... there are some really nice short stories like The Dead, The Sisters, A Painful Case and there are some short stories that are just okay, I guess. I am a big fan of anthologies, but when almost every story has no action (well, they have, but they are forgetable) and the characters are not interesting, it's just boring. Also, I am a fan of stories that dive into the minds of our characters, but again, here we see little of everyone because they are in short stories and sometimes it feels like they are not finished or the development is very poor.

Characters : As I said, there are many characters and everyone is disturbed by something. They aren't so developed as I would like, but I understand why. The dialogues are just amazing and I am happy to say that every story succeded in that criteria.

Overall : Some stories didn't resonate with me, and that's fine. I don't really remember the characters because there are so many and we don't know very much about them. The dialogues are great... I don't know, I think I would be more satisfied if I just read the summary of each one (except those that I love). I can't forget how Haunted made me feel, and how memorable the characters and stories were, while here... I read the story ,,What was that about?”. Maybe if I'll read them again and if I would pay more attention (it will be hard not to fall asleep), I would like more of them.
