SLAVE's Review
I approached this book with an open mind, believing it was a full length novel because of its page count. To my surprise it was a book that actually contained 16 different stories all by the same author, including 3 lengthy introductions, that I found completely unnecessary. They puff these stories and the author so high it was easy to expect more and proved to be very disappointing.

First, to catch my eye was a major type-o in the title on the title page. That screamed something was wrong. "Troke the Fire" There were even typo's in the blurb I got from Amazon to put on this page. The poor quality of the editing process shows.

Out of the 16, only 2 were worth a review: THE GREENER GRASS and HOLLYWOOD BLVD, both get 4 pens from me. Though those 2 stories were very good, the others weren't worth even one pen.
My over-all review is of this collection of M. Christian shorts? Two good ones out of sixteen isn't a good ratio so this book goes penless
