5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stories!, December 21, 2005
By 
donnawolan (Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Short Attention Span Mysteries (Paperback)
At first, I was a little hesitant to purchase this item as there is a freaky looking women on the cover with a giant watermelon? And yet, I do not regret my purchase.

The stories are great for someone like me-a person with a short attention span. I generally don't even like mysteries but these were actually perfect. While some of the writing is only so-so, others still are incredible. There is a even a high school student by the name of STacy Sluys who has stories in the book!

I know what you are thinking, a high school student that is already published? As odd as it may be, her stories were actually my favorite in the book.

THis short collection is perfect for a mystery lover or just someone who doesn't have enough time. THe stories will draw you in. Don't let the cheap cover influence your decisions, buy this wonderful collection today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Waiting Can Be Worthwhile, February 15, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Short Attention Span Mysteries (Paperback)
This is a great book for a quick read while you're waiting in those long lines to pay for groceries, license tags, or taxes. Buy this book and when you have to take the car in for an oil change, you'll be entertained by something other than the mechanics of the situation.

Two stories were written--and very well, I might add--by young high school student Stacy Jorene Sluys. Sandra Levy Ceren shows in "Memento" how to add injury to insult, and "If Anything Happens to Me" by Patricia Wellingham-Jones gives bored and deprived housewives food for thought.

The best of the lot, though, are John Floyd's "Careers" and (my very favorite) "Rainbow's End." They alone are well worth the price of the book. But the entire book is filled with neat little twist-on-twist stories that will make all your reading and waiting fun.

1.0 out of 5 stars These Are Not Mysteries!, September 29, 2008
By 
S. Atman (Southern California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Short Attention Span Mysteries (Paperback)
I bought several books of short mysteries for a friend. She returned "Short Attention Span Mysteries" to me and told me to get my money back.

I read a few of the "stories," and I had my husband read a couple. They really are not mysteries. They aren't even stories. They're vignettes. Little unremarkable slice-of-life observations involving (typically) a quick murder.

I can only assume the two reviewers who gave this book five stars are friends of the author.
