Book Review:
Incidentals was a collection of 17 quirky short stories set in the fictional town of Koondla. Some of the stories were funny, some ironic and some were too short to make much sense.
I liked most of the stories, but there were a few that read more like musings than stories, like that last one about death.
The book, in my opinion, was a good attempt by the author, but it needed a bit more work to really stand out. There were instances where words were used out of context or where tenses kept changing with each paragraph.
Overall, it needs a bit of work, but it could be a superb collection with some editing and TLC.
