Give yourself a treat - I defy you to be disappointed. Mindblowing. A beautiful read that will leave you wondering why on earth it isn't on everyone's "to read" list.

If these stories do not take your mind out of its comfort zone, than you are far cleverer than me. It is inconceivable that you can be underwhelmed by this set of short stories.

Another mindbender of a writer whose dramatic works have taught me, more than any other writer, the beauty and power of parred down writing that packs the kind of punch that leaves a mark

Whether you subscribe to her philosophy or not, you will think about it and you will want to talk about it. One of those books that will affirm or change your world view.

This is a lesson in how to tell a story and trust that the story is so compelling, that literary gymnastics would just get in the way. Prepare to have lumps in your throat, at the very least.

So relevant. It is a like a slap in the face. it holds up a mirror to your own vulgar and meaningless materialism and selfishness. This is far more life changing than the Alchemist.

Perfect tract on guilt and our ability to self-destruct. The power of this book will stay with me for ever.

the literary 'Karate Kid' and then some. So gorgeous. Inspirational, sad, funny, decline and fall, left-turns and T-junctions... brilliant.

This will change the way you lookvat drama and its parameters. I think this man was a genius. Demands your attention and unlocks a door or two.

Not the cleverest plot or the most beautiful prose BUT gripping characters and ringing reminders of the racism of our past without it being rammed down your throat. V enjoyable read and a great cast

It sings to you. You smell it, feel it, hear it. This prose is so poetic and evocative, that you will reread lines over just to hold them in your mind. Try out the first page and see for yourself.

I loved this but, for some unfathomable reason, not everyone does. It doesn't bode well in the first few pages (seems to have metaphoritis) but gets better and better and better....excellent

we walk past "Stuarts" everyday. his story tells us what we rarely acknowledge about the nature of homelessness. You loath him, you pity him, you want to hug him. you wouldn't want to be him.
