Review of 'Beat Goes On' on 'GoodReads'

4 stars

I was surprised. Usually not a fan of short stories, I prefer to plunge in a book and soak in its atmosphere for a while, leaving it for a few hours and looking so much forward to returning to it.

In this book each single story is a whole book in miniature, Rankin is especially good at establishing the mood with just a few sentences, the characters sketched in few but efficient words.

Probably going to explore more short stories to see how other writers manage.
