A review by booksnpunks
The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher by Hilary Mantel

2.0

This was a good book. The reason I gave this two stars was because I personally don't enjoy reading short story collections. I find that because they are shorter than novellas they fail to hold my attention long enough for me to really get into them, and the only one I really have ever liked a lot is Salinger's Nine Stories for obvious reasons. I'm aware that this collection was very good though, the stories were written superbly and had some great themes, but I just can't read short stories in this way. I just hope that when I study it in the autumn I will come to enjoy it more and change my rating. Mantel, it's not you, it's me.
