It's a must read for sure. I finished reading The Infinite Moment of Us recently and it was disappointing. It's a cute book, but the the characters are just so annoying. Maybe you might like it better than me?

It's an interesting way to showcase many books at once and hopefully leave people wanting more so they'll go out and buy the whole book - I however, don't think I would buy it because it is a collection of excerpts, when I could be buying a whole story.

Though, I'm partial to anthologies that get to the point within a couple of pages. They're great to read if you want to see if you would actually buy the book. I just read an excerpt this morning for a book that I'm thinking of buying, and I'm glad to say that I loved it.

I don't mind reading excerpts from time to time but not a book full of them. I would rather prefer a book full with short stories than excerpts to be honest but that's just my opinion.
