    Hard to put down

    This is a twisted set of stories. Hopefully a good introduction to his other books. It was so hard to put down but the short stories were perfectly sized for small breaks from reality. Cant wait to start on another on eof his books!

    Twisted Like a Pretzel

    Wonderful. I have not bought a collection of short stories in many years but have already purchased Deaver's book "More Twisted". This book is full of interesting stories. Of course, each one has a twist just as most of his books do. I truly enjoy his writings.

    Truly Twisted!

    This was a wonderful assortment of short stories that kept me guessing from the first paragraph to the last. Just when I thought I had it figured out, up comes a twist. More fun than the House of Mirrors at the fair!

    Deaver Delivers

    The author picks very different settings as backdrop to lead the reader down one seemingly predictable plot path--only we are surprised by a completely unexpected ending each and every time.

    Twisted Indeed!

    This short-story collection from best-selling author Jeffey Deaver delivers on the promise implied by its title. Not only are there clever plot twists at the end of each story, but in most cases the stories themselves feature characters whose motives and ethics are, well, twisted. I have never before read any of Deaver's work (I saw the movie The Bone Collector based on his most lauded effort and I loathed its implausibility) so I am unable to compare it to his novels. Certainly, this isn't literature, nor is it meant to be, and Deaver's prose is a bit point-to-point for my tastes, but I have to admit that his plots certainly offered compelling reading. I found myself trying to guess the twist in each tale, only to be wrong most of the time. Enjoyable reading, and I look forward to the second volume.

    Very Twilight Zone

    Excellent stories with great twists! I can't even pick which was best. I was disappointed with the last story (too bad, I love the Rhyme / Sachs sagas,) but this one was a dud I felt like there should have been another chapter.

    Amazing

    This book is awesome! You think you have the plot all figured out, but than it would change tracks so fast it makes your head spin. WHOA!
