Middle Men

Middle Men (2013) by Jim Gavin. This collection of short stories kept me interested, and every story was a little gem that I would gladly reread someday. Gavin has an intimate knowledge of the SoCal locations in which his stories are set, and it lend authenticity to his writing. I usually don't enjoy collections of short stories, because I usually have to put the book down in the middle of a story, and I have trouble picking up the book again and getting back into the story I was reading. With this book, I had no such problems. Every story was memorable, and every one was easy to stay involved in. As collections of short stories go, I give this one top marks. Grade: B+
