Ice Cream Man is always iffy because sometimes get great stuff, sometimes not so great. This one is split.

The first two stories are just okay. The first story is interesting enough, thinking what happens when we die and who gets what, but feels like it misses the landing. The second story is honestly boring and I didn't give a shit about anyone.

But the final two stories are strong. One is about the greatest and most unbeatable foe of all humanity. Death. And we basically live through two characters and their lives, and see the struggles and hardships and the wonderful moments too. A touching story really even with death looming over us all.

The last story is about a drug addict trying to do better but most people, even his own wife, doubt it. Only him and his daughter have some hope, but is that enough to get through it all?

Ice Cream Man can be amazing, but not always. And this is a good example of two okay stories, and two great ones, making the entire volume just good. But overall worth the read! A 3 out of 5.
