Loved every one of the stories in this collection. Each one had a twist or a very surprising ending. Each one a must read. Highly recommend. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
This book was a good read for me because of the moral values it portrayed and the lack of bad language, sexual innuendo and violence. It was a good, fun book.
