This book was intriguing if a bit strange and that ending was what got it 4 stars this may have been the weirdest thing I have ever read. Also I have no idea what anyone would think this would be anything but fiction. The characters were interesting but very weird I did like Dr. Harper though he was interesting to read about. The stories were edge of your seat interesting I was never bored they gradually got stranger and stranger until we get to that twist ending. So overall this was a great collection of stories.
