cinta's review against another edition
5.0
It is a delight to read this collection of ten short plays. Carefully written, all of them take you in an amazing travel through different topics. The characters are perfectly well defined, so they feel very realistic. The dialogues are witty, deep, funny, vivid, and all at the same time, and the tone is quite suitable to the different topics developed in the different plays. If you are fond of plays that read like poetical short stories, this is the book for you. Very easy to read, it is a very quick reading, since every play lasts for 10 minutes, just as indicated in the title. I highly recommend this collection as a must-read. I cannot wait to read more from the author.

4.0
A collection of short plays from the immensely talented Ben Ditmars. I particularly liked the one about the bank robbery, and the man who couldn't care whether he lived or died. The plays are laced throughout with Ben's infectious sense of humour which is always delivered with impeccable timing. I noticed a few typos but they did not detract from a very enjoyable read and I'm very happy to recommend this book to anyone who wants some light hearted but thought provoking entertainment.
