Reviewed by Roy T. James for Readers' Favorite

Mustang Summer by Mr. Leif N. Gregersen II is a collection of short stories. He begins with his take on Hitler, an entirely new look at one of the most fearsome despots of all times. He examines the blow-cold, blow-hot attitude of a gentleman called Jerry towards his cats as well as his family members, and examines Lee Harvey Oswald afresh as one of the most suspicious looking characters. In all the stories, the author presents a distinctly different version of the event in question. Many of the stories deal directly with issues affecting our society. For example, the story ‘Princess’ describes an incident involving childhood rape, and how the wrong person can land up in confinement.

Mustang Summer by Mr. Leif N. Gregersen II is a good book to read. The author’s choice of themes covers almost all aspects of life, making this assortment of story snippets a good reference for anyone interested in understanding more about life. For a clear appreciation of the ways we take a look at life in our society, the short story is a good medium, exemplified very well in this collection. I think it will be a worthy addition to one's library.

Who, after reading the following exchange from this collection, can think otherwise? “Hi, I’m Morris. You probably don’t know me; I’m visiting for the first time. I just wanted to see if… Um… I just wanted to see if Micheal D. is still here. He came in here three years ago and I haven’t seen him yet.”
“And you are?”
“I’m Morris, I’m his son.”
