[ 5.0 stars ] "Wow, Karen Russell knows how to turn a phrase, describe a situation in full up-close, don't-miss-a-beat-technicolor detail and rope you into her fantastic tales! The only trouble is, her choice of words and phrases made me want to read them over again, roll them around my mouth, over my tongue and savor every syllable, so it took me a little longer to read this than the average book! What a ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "Karen Russell has a great voice for the outcasts and disassociated and lonely. This skill really shines through with the title story "St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves". This collection is worth picking up for this one story.The remainder of the stories can come across like unfinished fragments of magical realism. It's a definite stylistic choice to write stories that have very fu ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "I bought this book, as I loved Karen Russell's novel Swamplandia and was not disappointed in these stories. They make the often strange and unusual characters and locations just seem like "real life". You are engaged, not constantly thinking, "wow, this is weird". I really enjoyed all the stories, with my favorite being the one about the minotaur. I won't spoil it here, but read it - yo ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "I'm not sure why I waited so long to read this. In the last year, Swamplandia! has been a book that has stuck with me much longer than I expected it to. Some of these stories will do the same.Every story in this collection is fascinating and haunting in its own way. Many take place in the same universe as Swamplandia! Many contain a bizarre supernatural element--Minotaurs, werewolves, etc.--bu ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 2.0 stars ] "I read this book in under a day, and oddly walked away with a slightly sad feeling after reading all of the stories. While they were all from a unique perspective, I feel a sad undertone throughout all of them. Also, each one felt like it ended right before the last chapter as if you messed the finale for each one. I'm going to donate this one to the public library... while I don't mind ..." Courtesy by Amazon
