I am developing a penchant for short stories between longer reads as a kind of palate cleanser and I loved this collection of stories, all quick to read but written in a way that was self contained and complete. In other words I didn't feel cheated. The stories are wonderful glimpses through a window, covering a variety of genres, and giving the reader enough of a treat to either want to read more from an author s/he hasn't met before, or to confirm in one's mind why certain authors are established favourites.
Writing a short story is an art form and this collection is a fine example.

A great collection of quick reads (all around 10 pages each) from a variety of genres. I love the books in the Quick Reads series as it gives me the opportunity to read authors that I might not otherwise pick up.

A short book of 10 short stories written by well known authors and I really enjoyed it. I did want more from the stories and would have loved it if they were snippets into longer stories that were still to come.
A very easy, quick read. I enjoy the quick read series and this one was full of different stories about fresh starts some thriller, some happy, some sad. A good mixture
