Format:Paperback
Like another Amazon reviewer, I bought this on the basis of a newspaper reviewer recommendation. Most of the stories, although professionally written and mildly enjoyable, seem to end with me thinking 'Is that it?'. Perhaps I'm old fashioned, or perhaps it's newspaper critics being generous to known authors, but I like some reward in the way of conclusion for seeing a story through to the end. You get the feeling the author is tossing these stories off without expending too much effort. OK but forgettable.
Format:Paperback
I really enjoyed the previous Gerard Woodward books but am somewhat disappointed in this book of short stories - quite peculiar and inconclusive tales.
Format:Paperback
This book had a good review in the newspaper, but I was disappointed as the stories seemed to be rambling and did not finish with any conclusion or punch line. For instance, in the first story you never discovered how, why or by whom the caravan was stolen and this was typical of the other stories
