This book has five short stories. They are strange stories. "Lost love" is a strange love story. But I think this story is not so sad story. I experienced more sad love. And I am painful about love. So I want to search more sad love story. ( )

This book has many short stories.
A man bought a doll.
But a doll sometimes moved while he was away.
So, he tried to throw away it...

These stories made me horror!
But all stories was easy to read and interesting,
so I finished to read quickly. ( )

This book consists of five short stories. "Lost Love", one of them, is a strange love story. A man fell in love with a woman who is not a normal human, once they left each other, but he wants to see her again and,,,

I think the stories of this book are interesting because the situation of them are something strange, not normal. I think the situation of these stories are almost impossible in our world, so I could imagine if it happens, so this book is interesting. ( )

This book contains 5 stories(Lost love,The doll,The other man, Journey's end).
I want to pick up "Journey's End".

A man walks to somewhere for getting his job.One day,he went to a park.There is a fortuneteller.So he told her about his future. She advised him.But one day he broke promiss kept with her.
...Can he get his job??

I like the best "Journey's end".
I will be trying to get my job like him.Maybe,if I were in his place,I would do the same things.When I hear getting a job, fortuneteller's advice wouldn't be kept.This story's last makes me moved.I like that heartful scene.

When I read this book,I understand that some are sad ,some are happy.And they sometimes happen from strange things. ( )
