The backcover talks about "more than 30 fantastic new short stories", but I counted something like... 64! Well, that has to do with the fact that not all of them are stories. "top 10", "best songs for a big night out", "flirting techniques for that big night out" are also included.

Some of the "writers": Marian Keyes, Kate Moss, Joan Collins, INXS(??), Bob Geldof... and the list goes on.

Book description:
Join the A-List for a Big Night Out to remember in the biggest read of the year! Over 30 fantastic new short stories from bestsellers like Marian Keyes, Candace Bushnell and Karen Moline, and award-winners like Patrick Neate, plus party tips from celebs who really know how to have a good time...Start the night with Stella McCartney, then let Joan Collins and Kate Moss sort your look, Nick Hornby and Steve Coogan provide the music, Jamie Oliver whip up the hangover cures, and Bob Geldof take care of the morning after the night before. Sexy, serious, sad funny and brilliant by turns, Big Night Out is not only a great read, it also raises funds for War Child, the international charity for children affected by war. The best in modern writing - and a lot more. Don't go out without it!

I was interested in reading these short stories, especially because there were some familiar names. And then I was immediately disappointed: the first contribution, by Kate Moss, was literally 3 sentences, and looked like a quote from an interview. Fortunately there were some actual short stories too, I really liked the first two actual contributions, by Marian Keyes and Nicola Kraus & Emma McLaughlin. I skipped around some, but quickly realized, that the stories in this collection were a very mixed bunch. Some of the contributions, which clearly were intended to be funny, were in fact highly offensive, like Kathy Lette's Top Ten Tips For Looking Fab At Forty and Adèle Lang's Don't You Know Who I Am. After those I decided to not risk having to read any more woman-hating bullshit, and just read Jasper Fforde's story. I'm a huge fan of his Thursday Next-series, but A Spot of Bother was not as good. I'm glad I had the chance to read this book, and I'm now giving it to someone who has it on her wishlist.

Yippee, thank you so much Candy! Received it today in a meeting and I have to admit I got a bit confused as I didn't remember if I had asked for it or if it was just a surprise.. :)

I've read Big Night In, if I remember correct, so I'm really looking forward to reading this one. At forst I was a bit freaked out of hte thickness of the book, but fortunately there is shorter texts too as they make reading faster. It'l go in my shelf now, will e waiting for the great chick lit moment.
