Humorous fun read!

This is a great fun read, with funny stories that I loved! It was something different that I do not normally read.

Nice collection of short musings. Still curious about that road in Singapore, however.

[Agnieszka · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was an enjoyable collection of very short stories. I didn't get them all but loved most of them enough I want re-read it in the future. My personal favorites were 'Christmas Surprise' & 'Isabelle Who?' especially since they showed how much our personal cultural background colors our perception and expectations.

What a delightful ebook. This is a fast read, but enjoyable. I think we all have little tidbits of "I swear it happened just like this", in our lives.

[Susan Keefe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ever found yourself stuck in with a boring person who just keeps rattling on, ever felt that you should say something, but am not sure what? Well this is just the book for you! It I a wonderful collection of very short stories which, whatever the situation you find yourself in, should give you something to talk about.

As always, some stories will appeal more than others, depending on what tickles your fancy, but however fussy you are there should be something for everyone. Whether you fancy something a little scary, funny, strange but true, or philosophical, they are all there, ready for your perusal. Then, you can store them away until that time in the future when they are just what you need.

Entertaining and interesting, this book was a very enjoyable read.
