Read the small print

I reallly didnt enjoy this selection: after the first story which was quite engaging, I realized that the following chapters were complete in themselves, short vignettes with little depth and just a twist to the tale... As a general fan of MB I had enjoyed several novels but this compilation left me disappointed, sorry....
