"These five short stories offer a selection of Dahl's adult writing. Parson's Pleasure is a country tale, A Piece of Cake, a wartime reminiscence, Lamb to the Slaughter a story of vengeful murder, and the remaining two, The Bookseller and The Butler, are on favorite themes of greed and snobbery."

I read this in one day and loved all the stories, but then again Roald Dahl is one of my favorite authors.

To the winner of the monthly lottery! Enjoy!

Thanks, slipperbunny! I have not read too many books by Roald Dahl..

I have read the first ten pages now! It goes on eventually..

Well, I found something more interesting in the meantime. Today I started from page 1 again.

Finally, I finished the book! Somehow, I just could not get it going... Five different stories indeed. I think I have seen a TV version of Lamb to the Slaughter, the plot seemed so familiar. That story was my favourite and the last one, The Butler, as well.

Tulipahan luettua vihdoin ja viimein! Suosikkini olivat niminovelli sekä The Butler, jotka molemmat olivat mukavan tiiviitä tarinoita. Pitkät novellit tuntuivat vähän puisevilta paikoitellen, olisin kaivannut tiivistämistä.

Osallistun kirjalla peräti kolmeen haasteeseen: Helmet 2022 -haaste, välipalalukuhaaste ja matkustan ympäri maailmaa -lukuhaaste. The Bookseller -novellissa lomaillaan Marokossa, joten siitä saankin uuden maapisteen.

Kirja vapautui Cafe Rebellen miitissä!
