First Thrills ~ edited by Lee Child

Funk Rating: 8 out of 10

This is a fun compilation of short stories from established and new authors. Very cool thing the International Thriller Writers association is doing - authors that made it are helping authors that are trying to make it. Gives the new writers a chance to get someone to notice them and to get a lucky break.

Some of the stories are predictable, some are not really all that good. But by and large, this is a great collection, and it's nice to see some short stories that work. Sometimes a novel is just too long...

I'm going to buy some more of these collections from ITW.

Enjoy!
