Love the six sentences mantra: each story, a morsel of intelligent writing, conveying a full meaning in a mere six sentences.These stories are derived from the website that has sparked a flash fiction craze, and if you've not tried writing a story in six sentences, beware, it's addictive. Like Scrabble for letters and a haiku for syllables, six sentences is a puzzle, trying to twist a full tale out of six lines of text; just six final punctuations (i.e. periods, exclamations points or question marks). To read one is to love one, and this book is like a bag of candy--you eat one, savor it, and then pick another. Trying to gain a full appreciation for the texture and meaning of each story is a fun shared activity--one can read a story in about 1-2 minutes, then pass the book and share it with others in the same room. Compare notes and see if you all interpreted the story similarly. A critique session sure to bring debate and laughter.
Highly recommended.

6S Half a World Away Kaleigh Somers 9781453735503 Books Reviews
The best flash fiction offers the reader a moment in a characters life. The stories in "Half a World Away" give the reader a unique moment--as well as a sense of the characters' history. In just six sentences, so many of the stories in this book--from the title piece that brings the reader into a child's world of make-believe, Tina Barry's chilling "The Listening Place" that reveals a mother who's too eager share family secrets, and "On to the Next" Ethan Swage's tale of a wronged man who tells his critical sister-in-law her anger is misplaced--open up a rich, fictional world.
As noted, this collection represents the fruits of a contest to name the best piece posted on the two related Six Sentence sites for June 2010. While I think it might have been too tight to call only one story the winner (I often disagree with the AMPAS Oscar choices, too), many entertaining and thought-provoking pieces were nominated and most made it into this book. The highest rated pieces were given a "special section" in the front, but truly you can find something to pique your interest by opening it anywhere and thumbing through. The collection represents what members post, read, and comment on on the Social Network or submit to and comment on on the Six sentences main site in a typical month. Some stories knock your socks off, and make you wonder how it is publishers have not made more of these writers famous by this point, some stories remind you how diverse are the forces behind the creation and consumption of modern short fiction, and some just make you smile in recognition of shared feelings and insight. It's all good. Go for it. You won't regret it.
