"A journey into the world of pirates that you will truly enjoy!, March 1, 2014
By
Giant Tales, 3-minute stories 'World of Pirates' is a book comprised of 53 stories that will engage you from the moment you open the book. The book is divided into two chapters. In the first chapter, each story has a theme that includes a bad boy pirate, rum, and money. The second chapter's theme is perseverance. The stories in chapter 2 all involve a house, a light and a musical sound from another realm.
I enjoyed that the book is set up in this manner. Even though the stories are from various authors, the 'flow' seems unaltered when reading from one story to the next, due to the common theme. Many of the authors in this book possess great talent at putting words to paper and making the tales a reality in your mind. This book is a great escape from daily life, one in which the imagination of the authors grabs your attention with suspenseful tales. I enjoy that the stories are each under 3 minutes long to read. It's a great book to have on the bedside table!
Many of the authors did a great job bringing detail and life to each character, particularly so when there was a limit on the number of words that were permitted. I found myself immersed in the short stories right from the start. I yearned to learn more about each character. Reading the 'afterwards' made me more aware of some of the clever spins on the theme of the story, and on how the 3 key words that every author was required to use, were put into play.
There are many great stories in this book for those who seek adventure. It was refreshing to read stories that pertain to the world of pirates! I gave this book 5 stars because there were so many captivating stories, there is something for everyone in this book."

What an interesting concept! Authors
from anywhere in cyberspace are asked to craft a tale using a few prompts. What
the reader gets is the craftiness of so many gifted people woven into one small
volume. Each story is only about 3 minutes long; long enough to enjoy while
waiting for an appointment. The "afterward" feature is great too, as
it allows the reader to get into the author's head as to how he or she was
thinking as the story comes alive. And who knew how many ways we can look at a
pirate! What a group of gifted writers! I recommend this book either as a
traditional publication or in e-form. Let's have more of this concept!"
