Cook Read Digest is a short, three story book that aims to not only entertain, but to do so with a completely unique perspective. You will be lead through a quirky restaurant, the mind of a store mannequin, and a quite unusual picnic. You will come out the opposite end of this book, but not entirely unscathed.
Cook Read Digest edition by William Box Allison Renner Literature Fiction eBooks
William Box’s Cook-Read-Digest is a rather enjoyable trio of short stories that fall somewhere between comedy and bizarro fiction. We start with a tale about a waiter and a chef, the waiter a tad inept and perhaps too literal in his performance, the chef a tad too meticulous in his approach to taking a tomato off a burger. We then move on to what I believe to be the stronger story of the three, perhaps the roast beef between the two fine slices of focaccia. This tale deals with a mannequin with a fetish for women’s ankles and lack of complacency for his station in life…perhaps a touch of paranoid schizophrenia to boot. And finally, the second slice of focaccia is a humorous tale about a picnic threesome and an ant with some severe identity issues.What the three store have in common is the author’s masterful ability to not over-tell a story. While descriptions are vivid and dialogue is thorough, it’s the underlying themes and messages that are not overexposed here. I find too many authors leave little to the imagination, but Box speaks just enough of his mind to make the reader think, in my opinion the best way to tell a story. This is not an easy thing for a writer to do, and is a valuable talent that I believe will help William Box etch out a name for himself in the bizarro fiction community.
I give Cook-Read-Digest a four out of five possible stars.

Cook Read Digest edition by William Box Allison Renner Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The collective works contained are sure to satisfy any and all pallets. This fine three course meal for the mind is masterfully cooked to steamy perfection. Great job Mr. Box!
Author William Box brings us a trifecta of comedic, bizarro goodness. Containing three short stories, this bargain-priced chapbook proves to be a wonderful introduction to the mind of Box. Clever wordplay, disturbing images, and some surreal concepts comprise this collection that not only entertained; it impressed. I’ll be watching for more from this writer in the future. Recommended.
Cook Read Digest is a book I wish I could rate in pieces for the purposes of and other retailers. A trio of super short stories, I feel as though Cook Read Digest runs the gamut.
It starts strong out of the gate with Fruitless, a story about the dangers of taking life a little too literally. I got a couple of good chuckles at this one, and in the end it turnout to be the real highlight of the collection. I would give it a solid five stars, from beginning to end.
State of Mind was a somewhat uncomfortable ride. Though I enjoy the premise of the story, and the message behind it, I found it a little too literal, in a way. It was strange- and strange is good- but I just couldn’t settle into the feeling of it. I would give it three stars. The writing was strong, the story was there, but something felt off.
The final story, Overthrown, was also uncomfortable at first. I struggled through the first few pages. While the content was not unsettling, some of the ways it was described were- and that could have been the purpose- but I found myself unable to sink into the story. Nearer to the end, though, and on a second reading, I found myself growing a little more comfortable with it. I would give this final portion of the trio four stars.
It may be that the entire book is something that bears revisiting many times to truly become comfortable with it, and I can promise that I will be reading it again. If you like strange and thought-provoking stories, this might just be the mini-collection for you, but if you are looking for a quick and easy read, you might find yourself dissatisfied.
Four stars, in the end, for William Box’s mixed bag, Cook Read Digest.
