So, I'm donating it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Dark and funny *by M***H on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2009* With this book I think the most important thing for any potential reader is to understand the genre before giving this book of short stories a read, because if you do not like this genre then you will not like this book. The stories are dark, and the author plays with irony and subtle twists. The author's worlds are not black and white but instead different shades of grey. If you don't enjoy flawed heroes who learn twisted lessons then this is not the book for you.With that said this book was an important read for me in that it illustrated just how big a role military life plays in Israeli culture and society. More than half of these stories had some theme of military service surrounding them. The author's stories tend to focus on youths, and so their eventual military service is a common theme. I guess it is difficult to understand just how much the military permeates Israeli culture when one is outside of this society. I have read a lot of books on Israel, but it wasn't really till this little book that the reality actually began to sink in that this is a very pervasive aspect of Israeli culture.As for the stories themselves the majority of them are about three pages long so expect to be sucked into this book very quickly. I found myself saying just one more until the book was finished. Of course I love this genre and style, so this book was bound to find a receptive audience with me. The author has a very nice style that sucks you in quickly then punches you in the gut before he moves onto the next story.Once again know the genre. If this genre appeals to you then you will love this book, but if it doesn't then you should absolutely skip this work because it won't appeal to you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/30098584-the-bus-driver-who-wanted-to-be-god-and-other](https://www.desertcart.us/products/30098584-the-bus-driver-who-wanted-to-be-god-and-other) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
