*Warning: may be spoilers* "All the Nothing We've Done" is a very thought provoking and even, at times, humorous read. Do not read this expecting a message of salvation by grace as it emphasizes salvation through proving your worth through good deeds. This fact does not affect my rating as I do not believe a salvation message was the author's intent. Rather this story follows the main character as she is forced to look back on her life and realize there are good and bad sides to every action she has completed. Eventually, the story concludes with the question of which is greater, doing everything or is it sometimes greater to do nothing? This was a very interesting and quick read. I felt the plot and scenes were well described and loved that the author was able to incorporate humor into an otherwise dark subject. I give "All the Nothing We've Done" five stars.Product details

All the Nothing We've Done A Short Story edition by Christina McMullen Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I really enjoyed this short story. Humor, sassiness, and smarls? What more could you ask for in a short story. One of the better parts was McMullen's take on the afterlife. Definitely a fresh take if I've ever seen one.
This story takes a hard look at the whole person and situation to determine what it means to have led a good life. It's a thought-provoking short story with a meaningful perspective.
Rather than present God as a heavy-handed overbearing judge, Ms. McMullen shows him as one who can appreciate the good that comes about as a result of our actions here on earth, regardless of how misguided our approach might be. Thia was entertaining and well written, and leaves the reader eith a lot to consider. Great job!
This is a nice little story about an underachiever trying to get into heaven. Funny, cute , and a little philosophical.
This is a bit of a departure from the norm for Christina McMullen insofar as it's a short story and not quite filled with the LOL-inducing humor that I've come to know and love from her. That does not, however, mean that it was not as good as anything she's ever written. There's subtle humor in the irony of the situation and it's a good look at how do nothing is just as bad as doing something wrong. Excellent, short read!
If you died suddenly and were confronted with the reality of having to justify your deeds to get into heaven, what would you say?
‘All The Nothing We’ve Done’ revolves around this very question in a light-hearted and often humorous way, yet it is an interesting and thought-provoking read.
The reader is reminded that what one person considers sinful might be seen as virtuous by another - perspective and interpretation are key factors in how we view and evaluate others actions, or our own.
This was a different style for Ms McMullen. Contrarily to her previous work, where I always fell in love with her characters, in this story, her protagonist, Chevelle, is not the most engaging protagonist; however, even if the book is short, she has time to grow on you.
There's not much I can safely talk about without spoilers. All I can say is that it made me wonder about St-Peter and the judgment day. Will I pass the test or will I fail miserably…Food for thoughts.
