Short But Good Tale,
By
This review is from: Bring it Back Home (Quick Reads) (Paperback)
Of all the Quick Reads I've read, and I've read most of them, this is easily the shortest in length. It's just 70 pages long, most of the Quick Reads books are around 100 pages in length. This doesn't mean it's not worth buying, it certainly is an interesting story, however another scene or two especially with the London drug boss travelling through Wales would have made the story more entertaining. Also instead of a wondering what happened ending, writing another page or two and telling us would have improved the tale as well as I don't really think the plan put in place would have worked. Plus I was just waiting for it to be revealed to Lewis that the child he slept with who he thought was a girl was actually a boy, which disappointingly we don't get to read happening (unless the author believes girls have adam's apples).
Basic plot of this short story revolves around a not to bright man named Lewis, years ago he fled his Welsh small town after the father of a child he slept with found out had a shotgun barrel with his name on it waiting to meet up with him. Upon learning the man had passed away Lewis decides it would be a good idea to empty the safe of his violent drug smuggler boss Jonathan 'cakes' Cunningham, and bash his boss over the head with a bottle and return to his home town to convince the girl whose adam's apple he had so admired while both lost their virginity, to combine her inheritance and his stolen money and move and start a new life in New York with him. Of course Cakes isn't too impressed by being robbed and bashed over the head and is in pursuit of Lewis, set to have his vengeance. Along the way he'll come across some lazy Welsh in a town he stops to grab something to eat. As I said there should have been a few more encounters before he gets to Lewis' town as this was the major entertainment of the short story. Bring It Back Home is part of the Quick Reads series of stand alone published short stories. If you're unfamiliar with the Quick Reads initiative, they are books published to increase literacy levels by encouraging those who don't like to read beyond magazines and comic books, to try fiction through cheap priced (current Quick Reads all sell of the rack for under two pounds in the UK) short story length fiction and non fiction.
