Advantages: Donation to Charity

Disadvantages: Left with a "what happened" feeling

I was really looking forward to reading this book which is a collection of short stories written by some of the most popular authors around at the moment.

As it was edited by Fiona Walker amonst others I was expecting it to be quite something as I have read all of her own books previously and loved everyone.

What a disappointment lay between the covers - I started the first story with vigor only to reach a very unsatifactory and uncompleted ending! I tried another - same story - I don't know if this is to do with it being a collection of short stories rather than one novel but the whole way through I never got the feeling the normally comes of reaching the end of a good story that "ah so that's what happened feeling".

Instead I was just left with a "what the hell was that all about" feeling. On the whole I found this a thoughly disappointing read - the only good point that £1 for each book goes to charity so at least it wasn't all money wasted!

aww..is it that bad? i was quite looking forward to this one since josie lloyd and emlyn rees contribute a story. actually, i wasnt too keen on the first 'girls night out' either. like you mentioned, it didnt feel like the stories were going anywhere..
