Take a Break

by A.W. Lambert

Within these pages you will find 25 short stories. They average approximately 1700 words, each story taking around ten minutes of your time. There is absolutely no theme and they are in no particular sequence or categorised in any way. Indeed to read from cover to cover would probably be a mistake. Better to just drift back and forth, picking at random, which, by the way, is exactly how they have been put together. You will find each different, each hopefully a pleasant little read. Some involve ghostly goings on, others a little detective work and still others a tad goofy; just a little nonsense with something, hopefully, to raise a smile. When taking that welcome break, cup of tea or coffee in hand, this is a little book that can literally be dipped into at any point for that ten minute relaxing read.

This was an enjoyable quirky book full of random short stories. You might not enjoy all of them, but I did. Not a scrub in the bunch as my Mom would say.
They were all make you scratch you head for the most. I really really liked it. Bonus I think they were all clean. I will be finding more by this author. There were a few typos/ grammar errors, but nothing I couldn’t handle. Most drive me nuts.

Take a Break by A. W. Lambert, a collage of short stories, written by a talented British writer, brought me into a variety of cleverly told tales with a British accent. I had to use Kindle's Highlight (The New Oxford American Dictionary) to understand British jargon. It was a pleasant read with a variety of short stories touching several different genres.
I recommend the book to all readers. Reviewed by G.L. Didaleusky, author of mystery, suspense, thriller novels.

I've been a fan of A. W. Lambert since the first book I read. His short stories are as intoxicating as his novels.
