Matt's comments on this title

If you want something that is varied, vibrant and I am sure a couple of other good 'v's, go for this one. I am a bit lazy and I love to be able to dip in and out of stories, so this made great night-time reading for me. The stories live. They are very emotional, without being mawkish. And very visual (ah, more 'v's). This means that they really stay in your mind which for me is a sign of real art (yup, sounds rather vretentious, but it's true). Have a read, you'll see what I mean.
