nancidrum's review against another edition
1.0
This was my first experience with flash fiction and I am not a fan. I flat out did not find the stories funny or amusing. Most reviewers have given 4 or 5 stars, but I just totally did not find the stories to have any merit. So many won awards, so I guess I just am missing something. Too odd for me.

A definite toilet book, which is a compliment, believe it or not.
These stories are designed to be read in short 'sittings' and range from the head scratching, to the sublime, thought provoking and heart warming. Each makes you think, maybe a little, maybe a lot, but always about the vast and varied imagination of the author. Her ability to cut out detail, yet still convey a story is quite astounding. I particularly liked 'the shirt off his back' but 'Oysterque' was a real headscratcher.
