Don’t mess with Meadowside! by Michelle McGrath

This is a 2,500 word short story about the residents of Meadowside Residential Home as they launch Operation Retribution. They have been a target of anti-social behaviour from some teenage school boys and plan their revenge.

As short stories go, this is rubbish. It is a very tame story told for people with a very low reading age. It has as much style and content as an advertisement for replacement double glazed windows. Short stories should be quick, sharp and excite but this is very dull and obvious. The dialogue is what you can expect from a children's comic.

Nothing attracted me to this short story as it left me so cold and bored. Michele has used this story to promote her other books but as adverts and teasers go, this is a put off. Don't Mess With Meadowside! is a simple tale for simple people that I will vote the lowest score of 1 star.

Don’t mess with Meadowside! is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook and was published in 2014.
