Betty White's book fit the bill perfectly. While this is not a groundbreaking literary work, I figure musings and advice from someone who has continued to be successful at the age of 89 are worth listening to. Breezy read, made me smile.(less)

The fiction was a little too graphic and over the top, so any emotional vulnerability he tries to inject is lost in the hubbub. (less)

Walter Williamson is able to artfully share the stories of several couples' experiences with miscarriage, including his and his wife's, without leaving the reader feeling that the book is clouded by an overly masculine point of view.

The book is described many places as a collection that introduces teens to Dahl's adult fiction, and I can see how my teenage boys would enjoy these off-the-wall tales. However, if I weren't a writer, I don't know if I would like this book as much as I do. Many of the stories cross the border of odd and venture into slightly creepy--but they do it so well, I cannot help but appreciate Roald Dahl's skill.
during the action, no dilly-dallying around with warming up on droning on with conclusions. He also knows precisely when to withhold information from a story to allow his readers' imaginations to fill in far more vivid details than he can wrangle onto paper. For example, in "Lamb to the Slaughter," we never know exactly what Mary Maloney's husband said to her that caused her to snap, and in "Skin" we never learn the method of artistic extraction. (Thank goodness!) In "Beware of the Dog," Dahl demonstrates how to artfully capture the surreal when he describes the pilot's hazy descent from airplane to hospital bed. My favorite story is "The Wish," probably because I have three boys and I have witnessed how they spent entire afternoons avoiding imaginary hot lava when they were younger.
