Mostly True II: Episodes by Arlene N Cohen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In the Sequel to the first book, the author delivers on her previous work. She blends true stories with some magical embellishments and some witty humor and gives us greatly entertaining stories that span the breadth of human experience. Sad, strange, or even happy, each one is full of life and showcases the vastness of human interactions. Eleven stories are contained within and the writing is good. Each chapter is headed off with a quote from some famous people that set the mood for the ensuing story. While short, the stories all hit the point and I am feeling a little bereft with some, wishing there was more. This is a good problem to have with books though, so it’s a bonus. The Baby maker was a sadder story, but I really liked Dancing in the Void.
