Book Reviews of You Have Time for This
Book Review: I was drawn in
Summary: 5 Stars
The experience of reading flash stories is qualitatively different from reading a novel. It's necessary to be a more active participant in the story telling - and that's what I find so captivating. Rather than sit back and be a passive observer of the author's fully-presented vision, we are only allowed a thin slice. A tantalizing peek through a partly open door. If the author is skillful, the peek is enough to let you tease out the story. If you have the least voyeuristic tendency, you should read this book. It's filled with sly glimpses into the lives of others - and don't be fooled by their briefness. You'll be mulling over the characters long after the story is finished.
You do have time for this. In fact it's better if you don't have a lot of time. The pleasure is extended and the stories are there for you whenever you have a minute to read.
