I really enjoyed this book. Most of the stories were really interesting. It was great to be able to read the original versions of Sinbad, Ali Baba and the Forty Theives, Aladin and other tales that you've heard in various terms over the years. I thought about just reading a day at a time, but the days are so short that you can't really get into the stories without just continuing on with the tale. There should be something to interest everyone in this book. You can tell that it's been inspired by oral traditions and epics, but it doesn't drone on with lists like epics do.
