5.0 out of 5 stars A great collection 7 May 2012
By emzibah
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A book of 3 short stories, all of which I enjoyed. I found them engrossing and exactly the right length for me, not to short that they leave you disaapointed and not to long and drawn out. I loved how Michael Cargill managed to get in to the heads of three very different characters and make them real. The way that the Author writes about war (which I found in his previous work Shelter from Thunder) you could easily believe that he had been there.
I will definitely be looking out for more from him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down 19 Aug 2012
By Miss Joanna R. Barker
Format:Kindle Edition
I have to say it took me a longer to get around to reading this than I would have liked, but it was well worth the wait.
It's not often I will sit a read a book in one go. I couldn't even put it down between stories. There are three of them.
This book is not for the faint hearted. The tales are disturbing, dark and absolutely gripping. The stories suck you in, spin you around in a deliciously dark world and spit you out before you know what's happened.
Michael really makes use of all five senses, which makes each story more three dimensional.
Each story is gritty and enthralling in a different way. All three are completely different from each other and it does credit to the authors versatility.
I hope he does write a novel as I would love to read it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and well worth checking out 27 May 2012
By Linda Parkinson-Hardman
Format:Kindle Edition
Since being given a Kindle for Christmas a couple of years ago I have found that my reading has become much broader and I was recently invited to read Michael's book of three short stories 'Shades of Grey' and was surprised at how much I enjoyed the stories as I had assumed that I 'never read that genre'. Each one of them invited me to look at the world with different eyes. However, the thing that impressed me the most was that the stories told me about the individual experience in a way that is little explored. I'm looking forward to my next outing with one of Michael's stories because I know it will give me an insight into a world I will probably never experience myself.

The first two were completely outside my comfort zone and introduced me to concepts and experiences I had never thought about before, my knowledge of the history of WWII being confined to that which is taught in school and never even considering what it might have been like to actually experience the day to day life of a simple solder. In shades of grey I was confronted by the inner mind of a hit man. For me the least of the three was the last story as it reminded me of the Chucky films (not that I've actually seen them!).

All together an excellent way to spend a few hours in the company of something unexpected and I'm very very much looking forward to enjoying more.
