Its Marina _arinoska — Jysterically funny!

Erin Walkey erinwalkey — This completely satisfied my need for adult books about magic. Very inventive and playful, but dark and serious at the same time. You must read The Magicians first to understand the context of this magical world. I can't imagine there won't be a third. For those who love HP, Narnia and Neil Gaiman.

Fabrizio Rossi f_ab — I do not think short stories are Tóibín's strongest suit - I think longer forms serve him better (my favorite story was the longest story). A good short story can be (though I don't want to make any really strong normative claims) a bit like a slap out of nowhere, and he doesn't have that talent, which I think I . . . probably should have guessed before reading these. But my evaluation of this book is probably not totally fair, because Brooklyn is still fresh in my mind, and I love Brooklyn with an adolescent passion. (Picture the sobbing girls in A Hard Day's Night. Now go read Brooklyn.) These are all perfectly good stories, and I wouldn't be like "Jesus, the New Yorker has really let itself go, right?" if one of them turned up in an issue (and some of them have). One of the cover blurbs (bastions of reliability, I know!) mentions that this would be a good introduction to his work. That seems to me a fair evaluation of them, but I imagine if you've loved his novels - or, in my case, novel - then you would find these a bit of a disappointment. As I've mentioned, I know this is unfair: a combination of my personal aesthetics re: short stories and the fresh memory of Brooklyn conspired against this collection, so. All the same, he can do better.
