Mary Miller | 2009

Book Favorite

"Mary Miller is one of my favorite short story writers and in “Big World,” she writes about flawed, boozy women who make bad decisions and live to tell their tales. The writing in this little collection is atmospheric and claustrophobic and illuminating and lovely. In each story, Miller shows us how the world is as big as it is small."

Book Favorite

"I’m currently working through this one story at a time A friend who works in publishing introduced me to Monterroso’s writing because I have often called some of my work fables, and Monterroso’s short stories feel like that, also. But they are also very unsettling, with a Kafak-esque sheen to them, like black little pearls that are beautiful but scare you."

Book Favorite

"This book wowed me and spoke to me so intimately, I knew I had to befriend Sarah Gerard, who is just as powerful, beautiful and bright as I imagined. It's a short road trip book about a starving maniac and her terrible boyfriend that seems to expand beyond the limits of the page and the entire universe. It still echoes in my mind."

Michael Knight's a collection of short stories gives us the flavor of the many attributes of the city Mobile Alabama and a taste of some of its varied inhabitants, with some wild weather (both literally and figuratively) thrown in for good measure. See what I thought of these stories in my review of "Eveningland" here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2017/03/26/mobile-stories/

On a whim and a hope, Evie signs up to learn how to train dogs, but the school she's going to is anything but a normal kennel. Maybe that's for the best, because nothing has been normal in Evie's short life so far.

I was quite surprised by this book, as while purchasing I was sure this will be an exact story from the tv show, but since I'm a fan it didn't bother me much. I must admit it is well written short story, that has a very vivid story line and the absorbing action. Overall I find it nice and easy to read.

The problem with quick reads for me is they are just not enough! I wanted more depth and i wanted to know if there was an even happier ending! I don't think quick reads are for me, there's too much left to be explored but I liked it for what it was. It was cute short and snappy read, which made me giggle.

Wow a truly bad film and rubbish Horror effort. For a short film nothing really happens until the last 35 minutes. Painfully slow and with dull characters. Tries to be a mix of @The Collector (2009) @Saw (2004) with the @The Purge (2013) and fails miserably. Skip past it.
