Summary: The Idea...
Review: The Good: "The Chosen One" by Destin Soul was one of the most clever stories out of this book. "The Letter" was hilarious. "Twisted" was a really good story as well. The line in Roy L. Pickering Jr.'s "Mama's Boy" about "Sometimes I think death is scared of me" was very strong dialogue and I liked that story.

The Bad: It may be the editor in me, but some of these stories were almost impossible to get past the editing mistakes, or lack thereof, unless they were as well crafted as stories like "Averted Hearts" by John "Divine G" to the point where the plot outweighed the mistakes. But there were so many careless mistakes like "two ours" instead of "two hours", "you're" instead of "your", "Born" by Shere Washington had endless mistakes (and the story was so disturbing that I had to tell other people about it--the story was well crafted, but man, did it sit a heavy load on my brain!) In "Betrayal" by Chris Foster, you can't have a person speaking with exclamation points and say they have "emotionless demeanor" on top of the story being dry, practical, and too boring to finish. "Comradery" needed editing as well.

Overall: "The Letter" was predictable, but I really liked it. Some stories were so far-fetched that it caught me by surprise. Only a couple were practical, which surprised me because i figured the subject matter was going to be. I really enjoyed this book and all the different aspects to it, but the editor needs to tighten up his/her game, for real because these are careless mistakes!

Summary: Desperate Sales Attempt
Review: This book was a complete let down, the title of the book is completly misleading. A short story is just that a short story, but most of the stories in this book are more like book previews. It seems the purpose of this collection was to increase books sales for the various writers rather that provide interesting short stories. This was a complete waste of time, don't waste your money.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: on the edge
Review: this book was a good collection of short stories. Some were to short, they left you hangin on the edge. This is a perfect book for people who cant sit thru long novel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautifully Written
Review: This was the best book ever written about the game. It does not glorify the game at all actually it deters you from the game. It makes you think before you even make that ignorant choice because as Shannon Holmes said THERE ARE NO WINNERS IN THIS GAME ONLY LOSERS !!!!!!!!! Thank you Mr. Holmes and your team of writers for blessing us with real stories about the game. Yes there were a few editing errors. But if you look past that and try to see the message you will be in for a pleasant ride.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Death of the book game
Review: Triple Crown Productions will be the death of the
book game.There putting out book after book that's
not doing nothing for real reader's. People are only
buying your books because it's so many. That made the
name for yourself.I know this is only your hustle for
cash,but be fair to the person that spends there last on
your book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: 2 stars just for having the heart to write this
Review: What is happening to all the good reading material.
I must give respect for triple crown for putting out
a couple of books. But if all these books is trash it
will ruin your name. So please step it up
