It was passed on to me to review because the person who had it couldn’t get into the stories. Usually, these collections have three good stories and one not-so-good story, (but that has changed recently) so I was willing to give this collection a try. I think the best story in the collection is A Touching Performance. I liked Nick and Claire and thought that was the best written story. The others had major point of view problems, making a jarring read. I can honestly say as a whole, this is the worst novella collection I’ve had the misfortune of reading. If you are looking for a good book to read this summer, you might want to look further than New York. $9.95. 458 pages. |
