I was hooked on Transported from the very first page, as Jones’ wastes no time in drawing the reader into his stories. My personal favourites include: Said Sheree, Books in the Trees, A Short History of the Twentieth Century, the Wadestown Shore and Robinson in Love.

Transported really does live up to its title – transporting the reader from the former USSR, to Wellington, to Dunedin, to Antarctica and America. Jones’ book also transports through genres, effortlessly flitting from sombre post-apocalyptic tales, to love stories to light historical satire. Given the short length of many of the stories, and the wide range of Jones’ writing, most kiwis will find something to their taste in Transported.
