Guys Read: Thrillers

Guys Read: Thriller / edited by Jon Scieszka
Another terrific book, this time short stories. Thrillers! say it with me Thriller. Even just saying the word gives a bit of a shiver down the spine. These ten stories are great, some better than others, but I felt entertained by each of them. Here's a little taste from the intro.
Why is that shady-looking character lurking in the dark alley? What's he doing with that crowbar? Is that something in his other hand? What is he doing? What has he done?
That is the mystery.
I'll bet the kid who just spotted him knows what he's up to.
There's not enough light from the street or the full moon to see the guy's face clearly. What if he turns? The kid will see his face. But will he see the kid. And then what?
That is the thriller.

Summary:
A body on the tracks, a teenage terrorist, a mysterious wish-granting machine, the world's worst private detective. The second volume in the Guys Read library of great reading is chock full of mystery, intrigue, and nefarious activity. Featuring some of the best writers around and complied by Jon Sciezka. It's a pulse-pounding collection of brand new short stories, each one guarenteed to keep you riveted  until the final page.
