Witty, Weird and Outrageous: Saki Favorites Book

I listened to this one from the Levar Burton Reads podcast.

When I first heard it, I loved it, but then thinking about how God was portrayed as not wanted to deal with humans and their problems anymore didn't sit well with me. Also, didn't anyone pray for anyone OTHER than themselves? And prayer isn't just Please. It's also Thank You, You are Amazing and I Am Sorry. Maybe the coat only got the Please prayers?

Also, the ending kinda...I don't know if I got it? Like, were the fortune cookies just the slips of paper? I was kind of hoping that the fortunes were based off of the prayers and directed to the patrons who needed words of wisdom, like answers to their prayers. But it seems like the prayers were just recycled to any old person. How was that helpful at all? A gift, a curse, it's all in how you use it I suppose.

3 solid stars. It definitely makes one think. Never I bad thing. Worth a look/listen.
