In our 21st-century society is obsessed with image, a shop like the one featured in X-Dream Makeover is the perfect setting for a series of adventures. What or how much are we willing to sacrifice in order to achieve what we want? How far are we willing to go to transform ourselves.

The four vignettes comprising this story give us a glimpse into human nature and the potential consequences of getting what we want. Isn't there an old saying about being careful what we ask for?

Well-written, fast-paced, and populated with interesting characters, this story should be on your reading list.

If you want to make changes in yourself, Mr. Lee is glad to help. These four stories have Mr. Lee and his unusual shop in common. Each story can stand alone, but I think reading them in order gives the reader a clearer picture of what is happening. These were easy to read and very enjoyable! Yet in spite of being lots of fun to read, the message I got was "be careful what you wish for."
