I like short stories.
But not this one.
I grabbed this book
during the final call for boarding a flight for a short vacation,
believing that a short story = a light-hearted read
and written by John Grisham = a page-turner.
I was wrong.
Most of the stories in the book are sad:
lawyer abducted by family of adversary,
a single mother with her two prison-frequenter sons
visiting a third son to be executed,
an AIDS patient abandoned by family and
left to die in a small town full of discrimination…
And it lacks the surprising twists typically present
in the lawyer series of John Grisham.
So pick something else for your vacation!

回覆刪除if u like reading short stories, try "And thereby hangs a tale" by Jeffrey Archer and the short stories of Roald Dahl is also very good read!!!
回覆刪除[版主回覆02/21/2011 21:55:00]Thanks for your recommendation! I have stopped by CP and grabbed the one by Jeffrey Archer right away! Actually I've read 'To cut a long story short' years ago. Though I can no longer remember a thing about the stories, but I do recall that it was very enjoyable!
