prekrasan's review against another edition
5.0
Since I finished reading The Art of Racing in the Rain most recently, I will begin there. It was incredibly sad. My husband came home and found me crying; I'd cried through the whole story. The writing was beautiful, Stein did a wonderful job with it - but I hate crying. I've been putting off reading the last story for quite awhile because it is from a dog's perspective - I thought it wouldn't be as good as the other stories. That thought was misplaced - the story was just as good if not better. So if you do not mind LOTS of tears, then this is the perfect tear-jerker story for you.
Heaven's Keep was my least favorite story from this collection, but still enjoyable. It was also sad (although not nearly as sad as The Art of Racing in the Rain).
The French Gardener was tender and sweet, perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks novels. It was a great romance that made me want to read more.
Finally, there was The Scarecrow. Wow. It was intense, full of suspense and thrills. It was a great read and I would love to read more by Connelly.
Overall, after experiencing this collection of stories, I would definitely read more from Reader's Digest. Originally I wasn't too sure about it, but now I'm wishing I'd started reading their novels sooner because the stories were so wonderful and well chosen.
I highly recommend this entire novel to anyone who likes to dab in a little bit of everything genre wise, and to those who are open to a new reading experience.
