I thought this collection of short stories was a bit of a let down. I actually really like a bunch of the authors that contributed, but most of the stories were forgettable.

The standouts were the ones by Patrick Marber, Nick Hornby and the one I liked the most was the last in the collection, by John O'Farrell. I liked the irony at the end of O'Farrell's piece.

Oddly enough, the one that is the most memorable was the Roddy Doyle piece. I didn't like the story at all, but the imagery with the rat was disturbing enough to make a lasting impression.
