Interesting but not captivating

This was an interesting take on people's perspectives. Looking at their world views one after another was curious, but everyone was a little bit whiny, which I suppose was necessary for the story to work but still.
It was interesting, and it made me think, but it didn't captivate me and make me want to read more (

Most of these stories are captivating and have good character development for a short story. Only 2 out of this large collection did I find a little tedious and that was because of the financial theme the story was dealing with. This is a great book to take along where you can finish a story during a car ride or in a waiting room. (

Meet a charming thief determined to outwit the law . . . a tenacious millionaire seeking to uncover family loyalty and love . . . a resolute diplomat trying to do the right thing even if it calls for using unethical means. Fourteen clever, witty tales, highlighted by last-minute reversals, unexpected twists, or surprise endings, all engaging and enjoyable, all certain to delight readers.

Recommended. (
