After hearing so much praise for Young Skins, I quickly bought a copy to see what it was all about, and to learn a little bit more about the art of the short story. Overall, I was satisfied with the stories in this collection, and it started very strong however I could have done without the last two stories -- Diamonds and Kindly Forget My Existence. They were a drastic shift from the first fives stories, which were all much more insightful and well written.
