Book Review: Screwing the Pooch


Summary from GoodReads:
Screwing the Pooch is a collection of seven eclectic tales filled with thrills, suspense, chills and romance. There's even a little laughter and murder to liven up a coffee or lunch break. If agony, redemption, love and laughter are your cup of tea, you will find them stylishly attended in this compilation. The unusual mix of genre fiction is bound to please the most discerning fiction buff and may even please the reading palate of the nonfiction lover. Screwing the Pooch is a fun romp and a fast ride. Strap yourself in and enjoy.


My Review: This book was great. You know you have to almost laugh at the title. With such an interesting title, when you pick it up, you wonder if the book will disappoint. It doesn't.

This is a compilation of several short stories. Each story is something that could happen in life. You probably know someone that's been i some situation that's similar or you've been there yourself. This book shows how some choices can really help or hurt you. It also shows that, more often than not, a lot of our choices are difficult to make and some may not have a clear right or wrong answer. It also takes on the consequences of what we have to live with in making past choices.

Each of these stories are complete. They don't leave you without closure. The author truly gets into the character for each short story and has you running right along side him.

This book is a must have. When you do decide to read it, set aside enough time to read the whole book. Even though it's made of seven stories, when you finish one, you'll be wanting to get right to the next. It's a super fast read.
