Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-01 00:00:00 Paul Scharringhausen This book was very interesting to me because I never realized how bad war could be and how cruel people could be. There was a lot of graphic parts to this book that some people probably couldn't even imagine happening in the real world. I would highly recommend this book to people just to let them know what is happening in the world and put real world situations and that we should end all war.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-10-28 00:00:00 Matthew Shea I read this over the course of several years, a handful of stories each holiday season. There are some very unusual choices, including some that really have hardly anything to do with Christmas (e.g. the one by Bessie Head). Still, it's a nice book to have to hand, even if just to skip through. Manguel strikes a good balance between well-known short story writers (Mavis Gallant, William Trevor and Alice Munro), authors you might never think to associate with Christmas (Paul Auster, Richard Ford and Vladimir Nabokov), and fairly obscure works in translation (Theodore Odrach, Sergio Ramírez and Itoh Seikoh). Four favorites: "A Christmas Memory," Truman Capote (overall favorite) "Christmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor," John Cheever "The Zoo at Christmas," Jane Gardam "O'Brien's First Christmas," Jeanette Winterson
