Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-10 00:00:00 Nadine Amer This is one book I'm ashamed to have by my bed. It is really trashy. Luckily the pink and taupe cover blends in with my bedding and can lie camouflaged on my duvet when my flatmate bursts in on me unexpectedly. I mention it here only because there is one story that lifts it above the average. It is tucked away at the back so you might miss it. It's called Zoe White and the Seven Whores. I told you it was trashy. This story is by Thomas S. Roche and, to be honest, it is not his best story. It is light and frothy. It reads like he dashed it off before his morning cappuccino. But he is one of my favourite authors because every sentence he writes either thrills me or makes me laugh. Zoe White and the Seven Whores had me in stitches. I don't usually laugh out loud when I'm reading but with this one I did and, what is worse, I was on my own. Yes, I know. I'm reluctant to recommend it. Humour is a very personal thing.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-26 00:00:00 Edmund Marcinkiewicz A collection of fairy tales from brand new to revisited tales. Saucy and very adult, not recommended for children. Since the tales are from all different authors the styles and range varies from piece to piece. Some a very good and others are not so much so, but as a whole the collection is nicely put together.
