Customer Reviews

....the land of the free....
I have recently finished school in America and even more recently moved to the UK. I was looking for a partically short story titled "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson and had asked around at local bookstores. One shop clerk was very helpful and told me he knew for a fact it was contained in this book. I couldn't find it anywhere but here. I had read "The Lottery" many times in school and for whatever reason it was one of the few that stuck with me. This story plus the many others make this book a great read. It's not one you sit down and read cover to cover, it's one where you open the cover and ask "What looks interesting today?" If you like short stories this is the book for you!!
