Review title: Disappointing effort
Product review: Ms. George does short stories poorly: unexplained motives, unlikable main characters, predictable or weak endings, overly long (just for purposes of including historical research), poor plotting, incomplete character development. These flaws show up within scenes of her books -- I should note I like her novels -- but are easy to overlook in the quantity of pages. Also, the fact that most of the stories were previously published was not readliy disclosed.I hesitate to donate my copy to the library, but perhaps it will save someone else from buying it. I'm sure it was worthwhile from a commercial point of view, but Ms. George should hone her craft before attempting another collection -- something I hope she does, as it can only improve her novels, too.
