                                                             My Review

The Store of Stories as the name suggests is a collection of short stories in which author has successfully pulled various human emotions in the book. The book has a total of 5 short stories, which are so gripping and intense that you will finish it within half an hour. The five stories are more like a call to humanity, love and feelings that one nestled deep in our hearts.

Starting with the first story of the book, “The Local Superhero” we follow a boy who is struck with poverty and find his days hard to meet the daily bread. The little boy once encounter an incident and learned what courage his and this triggered so deep in him and he ended up being a savior. A heartwarming tale of poverty and bravery.

Whereas story like “The Quarter’s Review”, is a story which is extremely emotionally driven and gives us the most valuable lessons in life i.e. always value what others has done for you especially what your parents have done throughout their life just to secure and makes your life easier.

Story like “Alok and Alka”, they helped us teaching us that love is beyond all and if love finds you, it will find its way to stay with you no matter from where you come from.  These three stories were really amazing and I felt so content after reading them, they have actually hit my favorite story category.

If you are looking for something to read- short, then you much pick this book or if you are short story lovers or loves to recite fables to someone then this is the right book. Overall the book was decent read, the cover was catchy and editing fine and would not hinder reading pace but somewhere I felt title could have been worked in a better way.
