#BookReview – Strange Medicine by Mike Russell

Strange Medicine by Mike Russell

This book is an excellent selection of short stories. I love books like this because there are great for those who want a short term read, but also want a lot of spice in their life and Strange Medicine brought it!

These stories are quirky and exciting, which isn’t something you can say about a lot of short stories series. Some of them seem a little dark or strange for short stories, but they are so well written it’s unbelievable. This book definitely kept me interested!!

Some of the stories are more thoughtful, while others will just make you laugh. Without spoiling, I would say this is a good collection that gives you a little bit of everything – it’s just enough! These out of the box, bizarre, yet thoughtful stories are a great way to spice up your library or reading experience. You’ll have many thought provoking questions, which is just how I like my reads!!!

My critiques are that I would have liked to read more into each story. I felt like some of them could have been expanded much further than they were, but they were short stories and that it is. This book wasn’t meant to be a full length novel.

This is a refreshing novel and I definitely want to read more! It didn’t wow my socks off beyond belief, but it was so great that is deserves four stars! Mike Russell is a very talent author who should definitely be in the top contenders at book stores (if he isn’t, they are crazy! What a talent that guy is!).

Four out of five stars.
