Summary: Entertaining, light reading
Review: This is my first time to read a short story collection, and my first time to read Forsyth. All ten stories were amusing but nothing startling or shocking. All stories were lighthearted, with no violence, sex or swearing.Some reviewers mentioned each story ending with a twist, and that intrigued me because the "twist" ending hadn't gained popularity when these stories were written. The twists were all pretty obvious but still each story was easy and fun to read.

Summary: A twist in every tale
Review: Written in his characteristic crisp style, Forsyth's 'No comebacks' is one of the best collections of short stories I have ever read. An assortment of ten of his best, each story is guaranteed to hold the readers' attention. A twist to every tale is the plot that he follows, taking the reader along with him for most of the tale allowing him, the reader, to get lost in the story before sharply jolting him, I'm referring to the reader again, out of his reverie with an unexpected turn. No amount of prior groundwork can prepare you for this sudden bend in narration. The work of a true genius. Hats off to Forsyth!
