5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!

Loved this new collection of short stories by Polisar! Fast paced, great dialogue, punchy stories, mystery and suspense - it's all there. Perfect when you are not in the mood to delve into a longer novel. Each story is unique, well written and moves you along - to the next story and then the next! Short stories are a particularly good style for Polisar for she knows how to quickly create the mystery that carries you to the heart of the story without delay. I enthusiastically recommend it!

Ms. Polisar strikes gold again. A clever set of fast paced thrillers that make for good reading on a cold winter night or a sweltering summer day at the beach. Have a look for yourselves.

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 STARS
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2011
First off, let me just get this out of the way, I rated this book 3 Stars because this was my very FIRST mystery novel. I like to take a break sometimes from my young adult (ya) shelf, and this time I went for mystery. =) ... So, I'm baseing my rating on that I REALLY am not a mystery girl...I'll stick to YA fiction.
This book is compiled with eight (8) short stories. This is great when you want to take a break from your usual reads. But there were at least 3 stories I was so upset at the ending because I wanted MORE!! Don't you just hate that when it comes to short stories!? Those stories had great potential to become full on novel material =D
Ms Polisar has a great way of giving a vivid and indepth look on her characters. She had me well interested in getting to know more about them. And each ending were so different from each other and punchy, it's what had me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next and what's the next story going to be. I'm blown away on Ms Polisar's gift of weaving compelling mystery in such short stories and of few words. If you'd like to take a break from those longs reads, and want to get into some mystery - Escape is trully a worthy 'escape' from the norm.

Thank you so much Lisa for giving me the oppotunity to venture into the mystery realm!! ^_^
