What elevates Palahniuk's best novels (e.g., Fight Club) above their shocking premises is his ability to find humanity in deeply grotesque characters. But such generosity of spirit is not evident in his latest, which charts the trials of a group of aspiring writers brought together for a three-month writer's retreat in an abandoned theater. The novel intersperses the writers' poems and short stories with tales of the indignities they heap upon themselves after deciding to turn their lives into a "true-life horror story with a happy ending."

A pleasant, cosy style and thrilling adventures make books by L. Frank Baum really special. His imagination populated the land of Oz with amazingly unusual creatures and even whole peoples with very interesting habits. The stories are humorous, witty and action-packed. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is just the beginning of the series consisting of 14 books, each more amusing than the previous one. Besides, in this collection we included other as much fascinating stories by this author.
