bent's review

I gave this up partway through the fifth story. I only liked one of the stories that I'd read to that point - "Walking the Dog" - and it missed out on being a great story by not ending with the first plot twist. "Filmsong" was OK as well. The other stories weren't as fun as they seemed to be trying to be, and tried a little too hard to squeeze in every possible reference to the neighbourhood that they were trying to evoke. A disappointing effort.

Not a particularly memorable collection, but there's just something about reading about the places you live and the places you know. Some of us don't get that very often.
