Paul Antony Jones puts you in the middle of every second of this book. You will have to blink to surface back into your normal life and will expect his characters to appear around every corner. Wonderfully well written by a master story teller. I was hooked on the first book, I have read them all.

I love all of Nalini's books - and that includes this one.

They are just so well written. Having studied english lit to masters level I appreciate truly great writing and this is. It is wonderful to be able to simply become immersed in the actual writing. To  be able to not only relax while reading, because I am not being pulled out of the moment by poor, mundane, average or predictable writing is a pleasure. Of course there is a predictability to this genre in terms of story structure/arch and out come but not to the language or the people who populate these stories.

To have numerous moments where I am re- reading a passage simply because I want to enjoy the way something was expressed, a turn of phrase, a particularly well executed apt or insightful description, or delightful moment is a joy and  just plain fun. These books are full of fun btw.

For that reason I have re-read all of her books more than once.

For me she is the romance novel's version of Dickens and I experience great joy in not only the language, but also the roller coastering, rich, kaleidescope ride of scenarios and emotions that is to be found in each and every one of her books and across the various series within which she writes.
Nalini is simply a wonderful, masterful writer of this genre.

If you enjoy the genre, you will love her books.

First all this is a tale extremely well told, by a master of his craft. Secondly the story encompasses experiences with which most men can empathise. Very amusing and so well written. Highly recommended

Once the book was begun it was really hard to put it down. One of the best stories read in some time. I really like this author's style and the warm descriptive way he weaves his story making you feel like you are part of it. A real and genuine storyteller.

How can you say anything but GREAT, by the master story teller. More twists than a country road. A terrific tale!

I will always read ANYTHING Ted Dekker writes.  Not simply one time, but over and over again because he is a masterful story-teller.  His creativity and magnificent handling of the pen is mind blowing.  I cannot even begin to fathom how so many great stories are penned by one person.  A.D. 30 was a compelling story and I felt like I was right there in that desert with Maviah.  While meeting Jesus may not have been her mission, her fated journey to an encounter with the Messiah was dangerous and risky, and purposeful and beautiful all at the same time.  Definitely a good read.

Having been consumed with the masterful writing in Follett's Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, I've started revisiting all his novels. Although written over 25 years ago about a war that took place over 65 years ago, Follett's insightful characterisations hold up remarkably well.  The master storyteller pulls you in and weaves a web of intrigue that will keep you involved until the final pages. Great read.

I am an avid reader and stumbled upon J.California Cooper about 15 years ago at my local library by chance.  The first book I read by her was Family.  I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to read all of her books and proceeded to do just that.  I love J.California Cooper's writings.  She is a master storyteller and although all writers are capable of writing a story, very few are master storytellers and there truly is a difference.  She writes about living and trying to make a way in a sometime harsh world.  She is my favorite author and I am always anticipating the "next" book.  You can never go wrong in reading her stories, no matter what book you read.

A great collection of post-apocalyptic stories from a master science fiction writer. Each of these stories - or "episodes" - work wonderfully on their own terms, as well as constituting part of a larger whole. Well-written, great characters and wonderfully crafted tales. This is the first of Mr. Salisbury's works I've read, but it certainly won't be the last!

The writer is one who has that wonderful way of taking into the stories.  Wonderfully written.
There is nothing that I did not like about the book.
Note:  This book is one you can read cover to cover or go slowly and reflect on each story.

Another great read from a master storyteller! This book is not as long as some of Ken Follet's other books but the story is well written and keeps you hooked until the end.

Roger Zelazny's writing is always wonderful and this book is no exception. It was a rare pleasure to read stories I'd never seen before as well as some old favorites. The Amber stories are a bittersweet taste of where he might have been going with the story had he lived.

All of the stories in this e-book are worth far more than the price of admission. The author crafts characters that we all know, and in some cases, a character might be you. In addition to creating situations, characters and plot lines that you can relate to quite strongly, the detail of setting, character thought and action is amazingly rich. As I was reading each story I was very vividly transported in time, place and character to the world and the situation the author created. It's the vivid detail and sharp observance of human nature that makes it real to the reader, and it does so much more effectively than most stories I have read. This is clearly a very talented and observant author who is quite adept at conveying a very real sense of emotion and conflict (both internal and external) which is a hallmark of great writing and entertaining storytelling. Everyone should very strongly consider reading her works.

Wonderfully written story, she is one of the great storytellers. I was skeptical for a while that they could work out their problems. I highly recommend this and anything by this author.
