Goodness… where to start with my review of Penny Pinching Tips for the Morally Bankrupt. This is probably the most diverse book of short stories I’ve come across, and with such a range of eclectic stories, among the 43 in this volume, there’s bound to be something in there for everyone. There are some longer pieces while others are very short, only a page or two.
I loved Libby Marshalls writing style, it’s lean, punchy and very good, and her sense of humour, which is quick and darkly mischievous. Her ideas are highly original and Marshall writes what many of us may think but hesitate to express.
Did I love every story? No. But I loved, or liked, the majority, and certainly enough that when I finished I went to Marshall’s website to see what else I could find to read on there.
Despite what the title, and cover, may have you believe this is most definitely a work of fiction. If you’re looking to save money, look elsewhere, this is not for you, unless, of course, you happen to be morally bankrupt, in which case…
Addictive page turning has meant I got through this book of unique gems quickly and I don’t hesitate to recommend it to all those who don’t mind the occasional sexual reference and F word and who long to read something that little bit different.
Thanks for the review. I love the title, and your review sent me straight to Amazon for a download.
Excellent! I do hope you enjoy it, Barb. 🙂
Thank you Georgia.
You’re welcome, Rosie. I’d never have read it if it wasn’t on your list, so thank you!
It sounds like a fun and varied collection of short stories. I’ve downloaded a sample and will take a look when i have sime more time. I’m overwhelmed atm.
I totally understand the overwhelm, Luccia. Hope you enjoy it when you get to it. X
You’ve sold it to me! Have just purchased from Amazon
Fabulous! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
