Some stories are really good (especially those with plot twists), some make you think about Malaysia and its people and cultures, some are comedic (18SX included), some are just okay. Stories writren with just 150 words can be hard to be written though, so I applaud all contributors here.Not suitable for those under 18... though now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure many Fixi Novo books are not suitable for juveniles. Oh, and Caryn Koh created really good illustrations.
I don't think it was a good idea to have the stories limited to 150 words. Some authors did manage to pull through given the word limit. I just felt majority of the stories were massively underdeveloped. However, the aesthetics were pleasing to eyes and the reason why I picked up the book.
Wow I'm so surprised I found this book in Goodreads. The stories here are brilliant, true to its words, short and charming. The key device here is on obviously plot twist. I don't know if there is a reason behind how the stories are arranged. The hardcore fares seem to start first and the light hearted ones at the end. True to the theme, they are all Malaysians and very current to our culture though I think a few stories seem to cling to bygone world. So good I finished this within an hour but n...
It feels like taking a walk through the city and you passes by all these people and you can hear their little stories. Sweet and honest.
Micro is great!!!
3.4/5 ⭐️Firstly, I love the illustration so much. Some of the stories are really good, some are okay and some are mehh. I feel like the stories have their own potential, i wish the stories are a bit longer but these are short stories. I love how this book has all sort of genres. This is Malaysians. this book had me thinking of, our regular plain daily routine could bring something big and meaningful if we appreciate life. Anyway, the editor, author and illustrator did a wonderful job into creati...
100 stories out of 1,100 enteries. Each one not more than 150 words. some of the stories are really good, some are meaningless... biasalah kerja kombinasi. Caryn Koh illustrations are gorgeous. Story no 80 about wifi code is not original...some stories are personal. Worth reading easy to carry. handbag size.2.5 rate given (kerana buku ini harus lebih menarik di waktu yang akan datang).
I love love love it! short and sweet.. straight to the point. Not very easy to write too..
I love many stories in this book, but I did not love most of the stories like I did in PJ Confidential or the KL Noir set. I definitely love how each story shows a snippet into Malaysian life or pop culture, but some of the stories have themes/tropes that are repetitive.
A collection of 100 (yes, you read it correctly) micro short stories from various writers. Some names I know of personally, some I have met before at book gatherings, and some I haven't heard of.But what makes this anthology differs from other collection of short stories is that it manages to cater to almost everybody's needs and interests. There's a gut-wrenching drama, a psychedelic story of aliens, ghosts or the supernatural, clever observation of extraordinary occurrences happen to regular f...

“But i am not the past they molded. I do not tell the tales they require. To believe in me is to first un-believe. So i remain drowned. But i am here. I am here”.- Drowning Majapahit by Sharmilla Ganesan (9)..Maybe because i read some review (how people are leaving it between 2 or 3 stars and it did reduce my expectation) but once i finished it, i thoroughly enjoyed the book. Maybe just ‘The Malaysian’ in me which i could be biased but i let you decide if you wanted to pick up this book. How do
150 words are not that many and to be able to deliver such moving stories in such a limited space (for some of the stories) are a great talent in itself! A great effort and it would be superb if there is another anthology of micro stories like this as I will definitely add them to my collection. 😊😊😊
Out of 100, I enjoyed less than 10 stories, okay, maybe around 5.
For a book of 100 short stories containing 150 words each, I'm surprised I took so long to complete this although partly it's because it's been jumping from bag to bag so I could pick up a story for whenever I'm in between things. It's also small enough to do that.I'm pretty amazed at most of the stories in here. Like wow, they can really mess with your mind in 150 words because it's in the things unsaid?? And there're a few formats the writers play with which is also pretty cool. I also like th...
Is it me or fixi's a huge fan of psychotic stories? Love the plot twists. The only downside is there's two unoriginal stories: Makcik Karipap and that wifi password. Recycling hostels/lepak stories is a no for me.
A refreshing take of all things malaysian stripped naked of cultural taboos and political-correctness. Each story has an unexpected twist but relates to all nonetheless
A good quick read.Apparently 150 words are too short for a story; even for a short story.Nevertheless some writers managed to deliver gripping stories, left you felt somehow satisfied. Some were lack of originality, more of personal thought and loss the idea they tried to comprehend.
Feeling completely baffled..the good ones can count by fingers..the rest slightly hit the spot..but totally loved the illustrations..
Felt like there were a lot of missed opportunities, stories could have had more punch than it had. But it is hard to write a story of less than 150 words.Favourites: Gone Datin, For Sale, Foreplay.
