Fun, short read
This book is a short read, but is way too similar to Thinner and doesn't quite match that book's ingenuity and excitement. It is a good story, very good, but lacks the originality I've come yo expect from King.

I really like Tobias and I'm glad that I read this short story. It was really interesting to read about Tobias and find out his feelings. I really wish that this was longer, 100 pages would have been nice but a full length novel would be the best. I guess I will just have to wait to read the other short stories.

A spanking good read
A short, sexy tale of revenge and redemption with some great over the knee action.

A short book that simplifies grand ideas of philosophy and religion into a good story. Definitely worth the read.

Book Favorite

"This collection, which includes the masterpiece “The Dead,” is sweeping as well as specific about all the lives within it. Favorites include the much-read “Araby," and also the perfect, subtle, devastating short-short, “Clay.”"

A short novella and quick read. The book is nicely paced, and, as always, a comment on society by Ballard.
