4.0 out of 5 stars Good short stories, 17 Jul 2007
By Shaun Scowcroft "scowcroft3" (lightning) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I recently picked this book up in the airport and read it on a holiday to Greece.This compilation covers just about everything from the espionage thriller to the serial killer story,with some great little twists along the way.One or two of the stories we're disappointing,but on the whole a good book to pass the time.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a Curate's Egg of a book!, 7 Oct 2007
By E. Heckingbottom "elaineheck143" (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This book contains an anthology of short stories from a wide range of Thriller writers - some of whom I had discovered before, and some of whom were totally new to me. It has taken me a long time to work through (by my standards) - for a variety of reasons. One of these is that the stories varied greatly so greatly in style and you never knew what to expect when you moved from story to story! Most of them were intriguing, some were very enjoyable -enough so for me to want to research the outhors here and consider trying one of their full length books - and one or two left me cold, wondering what they had been all about! I found myself making brief notes in the index so that I could remember how I felt about the stories! (and I never normally write in books!)

Patterson's introductions to the stories were interesting - linking the short stories with the authors' other works and introducing us to their key characters; but it would have been nice to have seen contributions from him and some of his co-writers/ghost-writers in the anthology - whatever I may think of his more recent books!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth your money, 4 Sep 2007
By Dr. S. T. Walker (Northern UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In terms of pages per Pound, this anthology is great value. My wife spotted it while shopping for 'holiday books' and from the minute she brought it home I was itching to read it.

The content is reasonably varied so there should be something to suit most thriller-based tastes. Many of the stories are very well thought out but there are a few which serve as very poor adverts for their authors. Still... I now know a few authors whose full-length novels I'd do well to avoid, so there's a silver lining to that cloud.

I'd rate this highly for un-put-down-ability, even though the book's subtitle "Stories to keep you up all night" is pushing it a little.
