This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
I'm not a great lover of books of short stories and didn't read all the stories in the book. But I did dip here and there and enjoyed the few I read. I particularly like the story entitled THE OFFER by Douglas Gwilym. If you like something quick and easy to read, and can dip into when you feel like it, you'll probably enjoy it.
