Mixed Bag of Tricks is a fun concept anthology that delivers on the promise of the title. Basically, a group of talented writers got together and produced short stories that were assigned them at random - everything from science fiction to chick-lit horror to a humorous nonfiction essay. I found myself pulled along by these surprising, compelling short works and finishing the book over a day and a half of casual reading. Perfect for a weekend read or a day at the beach.
