The big difference is that the women in the Oates collection are a whole lot spookier and realistic than those in the Lippman book. I prefer the Oates collection.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-19347582465916059132008-11-21T15:46:00.000-06:002008-11-21T15:46:00.000-06:00She's worthy of a shot, for sure, Stephanie.

That one sounds really interesting - and much more serious than this short story collection. I like a more realistic murder, if you know what I mean. :-)Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-45421688086602124112008-11-19T22:31:00.000-06:002008-11-19T22:31:00.000-06:00This sounds like an interesting read, I'll have t...This sounds like an interesting read, I'll have to look out for it.<BR/><BR/>Your review reminded me of another impressive short story collection involving dangerous women- Female of the Species by Joyce Carol Oates.
