Civilwarland in Bad Decline by George Saunders is on many lists of the best collections of short stories. Saunders is best known for short stories and is considered to be among the best of American short story writers. I found most of these stories to be delightfully entertaining and funny enough to have me laughing aloud. Saunders has a knack for writing the things that go through a person's mind that are thought to be inappropriate to state aloud. In writing these things, the reader gets a better understanding of the characters than one would ever have with a live acquaintance or even friend. Since some parts of the book were not as good as others, I will rate the book as 4 stars out of 5.
