There’s
an old saying, proverb if you will which talks about walking in someone else’s
shoes. Which in reality means you can't really understand someone else unless
you live their life, walk in their shoes so to speak.
The
reason I’m mentioning this is that I’ve written and self-publish a Flash
Fiction book myself; in fact the one’s I’ve written are for the most part are
only FIVE SENTENCES long. So I understand the skill and complexity it takes to
write a story which can be considered to be Flash Fiction.
In
her book, Janelle Jalbert has written 40 Flash Fictions each complete with a
beginning, a middle, and an ending with a surprise at the end; reminiscent to
the short stories by O’Henry. Each of her stories is full of emotions; making
for an enjoyable quick read. The best thing about these stories is that each
can be read completely while having a single cup of your favorite coffee; and
they can be read in any order you desire.
While
all this might be the case, the book could use a little editing to tighten
everything up, which is why I’m giving this book 4 STARS.
