Reviews

Herman: I highly recommend this book, I enjoyed it a lot. Some books are hard to put down, but for this book is I would rather say that it is easy to pick up. As it is a collection of many stories of various length, I would just browse it randomly until something caught my fancy, and something always did. Within a few weeks of buying it, I have now read every story in it. :-)
