"I am a big fan of Colm and these are the first short stories by him that I have read. Overall I was disapointed and greatly missed the magic of Toibin's novel writing.I felt short-changed in a few of them, really enjoyed "A Song" and "The Name of the Game" (could have made a great novel!) and a few ("The Use of Reason" and "Three Friends") I didn't enjoy at all."
"I read this book for a bookclub I was in at the time. I can't say as of this writing that the stories moved me enough to remember any of them. He is a well known author, but this collection I of stories I don't think does his writing justice."
