I really enjoyed this book and read it in a very short space of time. It was interesting hearing the minutiae of how he performed his heists.

He was very woman obsessed though. It reads very 60's sexist but otherwise a fun read!

This is a collection of four stories although the first one is my favourite. As always with short stories, there is a lot of information given and things happen very quickly but still this is a good collection! If you like dragons and fantasy/paranormal reads then I recommend this one.

Exactly what it says, nothing more nothing less. Wanting some spicy holiday theme spanking? This is the perfect collection for you. Expect steamy short reads that are perfect if you don’t have a lot of time. Even if you don’t like one story, move onto the next. There is a story for everyone (barring those who aren’t into this type of thing, in which case, why are you looking?)

"This is one of the most bizarre, exhilarating, strange, intense books I've ever read. I mean all of this in a good way. The book's chapters are fractured looks at an even more fractured family. The book feels less like a story about them and more like a lived experience inside their psyche. Each chapter reads like a short experimental film about each character. They are beautiful, poetic abstractions on the human condition."

this is the third book in. this series by this author. This book carries straight on from book two. All these books must be read in order they are not stand alone reads. This book is definitely hot. This author definitely knows how to pack a lot into these short stories. Amazing characters with and amazing plot. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

One of the all-time best
I have read a lot of books, but this was by far one of the best ever. This book was nothing short of amazing. It's the kind of book that stays with you - I still revisit it in my mind. I have not stopped telling people about it since I read it... When it first came out!! It's a near-perfect read. And for lovers of nonfiction, this book reads like a remarkable, moving true story.
  
I adore short stories, their format allows me to drop into a different world quickly, and in today busy world, for me to consume a world other than my own and experience life from a different point of view. The first story in the collection of "5 Minute" reads encourages the reader to do precisely this, to put yourself in the place of a mouse and have your curiosity peeked by that small hole in the roof of your box, a story told by Dr, Casswell but viewed from an everyday person's viewpoint these three characters are only ever leading in one direction. And once you've read it, you also will be, and that journey is further on in this imagination filling thought-provoking short stories.
