Quirky. Surreal. Enjoyable reads. The characters Dina Guidubaldi creates are memorable and we've all most likely met them, either in real life or in our dreams. Last night I read about a cast of characters who arrive as guests at the narrator's house. The first one eats fish all the time; the second turns to a statue that lives on her porch; the third becomes a lover until the first fish eater reappears. ( )

Dina Guidubaldi's How Gone We Got is a collection of creative, quirky short stories. Guidubaldi's look at the world and descriptions of situations are one of a kind. As I read each story, I could picture the characters and the settings and feel what the author intended. I was entertained by the stories and feel that Guidubaldi has a bright future in writing interesting and a bit off-the-wall stories. ( )

Early Reviewer Book: Deep, dark and original, many of the short stories resonate long after you read them. I will read more of this writer's work. Good read. Good writer. ( )

This is an Early Reviewer book. I enjoyed it. It was a mixed bag of short stories. The stories are dark in nature. I like some, more than others. My favorites were "The Desert : A Field Guide" and "The People vs. FAbHome" ( )

Strange and poetic, the stories in this collection are imaginative yet familiar, many with the feel of contemporary fairy tales. One or two tend towards the style of prose poetry as opposed to "stories", and though these were not my favorites, I found the collection on the whole very enjoyable. ( )
