Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
MTV has discovered the authors of tomorrow. Read them yesterday in Pieces.
This unique short-story collection is more than a good read -- it's an exciting glimpse into the future of fiction. The winners of MTV's 'Write Stuff' competition share their voices and visions in tales that are endearingly raw, undeniably bold, and engagingly inventive.
In Next Time, a housewife encounters a gunman -- an experience that changes her life, and her mind, in surprising ways...Pinball is an edgy tale of a young mail clerk's hidden sex life...After her broken engagement, a cook in New York goes to work for a chic SoHo couple in Roam...Mother captures the tragedy of a woman's illness, as witnessed through her daughter's eyes...In Day of the Dead, a humorously doomed relationship begins when a twentysomething's boyfriend returns from an Outward Bound trip and moves in with her...Two old high school friends reunite -- and compare their very different lives -- in Black Cowboy.
Along with other stories and an introduction by Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), Pieces is filled with the excitement of discovery -- as a host of newcomers present their works to a wide and eager audience.

I really disliked the book. The stories chosen were pointless and boring. I would read one story, be thoroughly disappointed, hope the subsequent one would compensate for my wasted time, and unsurprisingly, it would not. Obviously, I would not recommend this book.
The only story worth reading is "Scoring" but I wouldn't purchase the whole book to read it.

i got the two-day delivery and it arrived right on time and in great condition, the packaging was mildly shotty, but the book was fine.

I bought this book thinking there would be something remotely reminiscent of Stephen's book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." However, this is not. From stories of killing someone on the expressway for no reason to same-sex-sex, within these pages is absolute randomness. I enjoyed one of the many stores in this book. Now because I understand some people like it for their own reasons, by no means will I say this book is "bad" or "talentless." However, I will say that it is not the least bit enjoyable to read. Despite this, keeping in mind that these are NOT Stephen's stories, I look forward to his subsequent book.

This was an extremly enjoyable collection of stories to read. This book was well put together with the stories they picked to make it with. I hope they put more out like this one. It never let me down not once.
