Format:Paperback
I thought this book would be really good, and there are 19 writers who all have their own little short stories, I was quite bored with this book, some of the stories were ok, but some i didn't bother finishing off and i found them rather boring.

I bought this book because it contained stories by some of my favourite authors. I was very disappointed. A few off these stories are ok but some of them i didn't even finish which is sommething I never do.

Ive never read the work before of most of the authors who ve contributed to this and this book certainly wont entice me to. The stories were terrible with the exception of Cecelia Ahern and Clare Dowling.
