3.0 out of 5 stars It pains me to admit this..., 4 Dec 2008
By A. Furse "mrs_ratbert" (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It pains me to admit this as I LOVE all of Magnus Mills' novels, but this just didn't live up to my expectations. It's not that the writing is bad exactly, but I didn't feel remotely satisfied after reading.

At first I thought his economical, creeping style perhaps didn't work with short stories, but now I think there just aren't enough of them: it's really not worth the full price of a book for what is essentially a leaflet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Once in a Blue Moon, 14 Jul 2008
By Farah Yousif (Kuwait) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fans of Magnus Mills would enjoy this short collection of stories. Mills writes in simple, understated prose and has become famous for his dead-pan style that contains dry, dark humour.

4.0 out of 5 stars Weird but great, 19 Mar 2008
By Nicholas Whyte (Oud Heverlee, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
People are very strange, and by putting them in strange yet almost familiar environments Mills brings out our inherent strangeness beautifully.
