Secure One Mans Meat Edited By Jeffrey Archer Rendered As Manuscript

Man's Meat is a great example of the power of a short story it was beautifully written and entertaining.
I loved all the alternate endings but 'Overdone' was my favourite, In this short story you can choose your own ending from four alternatives, I read them all and enjoyed this free download, Absolutely entertaining. The idea of four plots to choose from was good, Even better was the fact that all four turned out be worth the time, Love this storyfor the first ending,,for the other three.
Lovely short read.
All the endings are somewhat similar and still strikingly different,
I am loving this short stories spree I am on!

Recommended, The story hasending named, Rare which to me actually seemed to be rare, the other one was burnt, and that to me seemed more common, overdone was okay, and on point was happy ending.

First time I read something like this, This is one good read for short time, I chose this as I was on my invigilation duty, This review was originally posted on my blog ladybookdragon, com

I am back to reading to short stories at breakfast again, after having quite a break whilst I read some other books on my Kindle.
I am glad to be back as I really enjoyed this book, especially because you can choose your own ending.


The book features Michael Whitaker who immediately drops everything in pursuit of Anna Townsend and pays no regard to the consequences.
Each ending shows a different set of consequences for his actions, Michael is in the restaurant business and Anna is a doctor, two very different professions,

The beginning of the story sees the two characters enjoying the play and getting to know one another over a drink during the interval.
At the end of the play Michael asks Anna out to dinner and from there the different endings take place.
The fact that Michael drops everything because of just seeing a beautiful woman makes me wonder if the man is of a sensible and sane mind.
In my opinion he is a little creepy and not a man to rely on,

Rare is the first ending and in my opinion more of a fantasy, it is more like Michael dreaming it all and it was not my favourite.
It seemed a little too unbelievable like the beginning,

Burnt really shows just what a fool Michael is and that chasing this woman could have cost him everything, to be honest this is my favourite because I think the man gets what he deserves.
Yes I am being unromantic but the story just does not fit in my mind,

Overdone is my least favourite mainly because I disliked the character of Anna, she suddenly seems to have had a personality change and not for the better.
She is rude, irritable and spiky, I actually feel sorry

for poor Michael in this ending,

À Point is my second favourite ending because if it has to end in Michaels favour this is how I would like it to go.
It is believable and a lovely ending and the reader is left dreaming of what could happen next.


All in all this was a good short story and I loved the quirkiness of the optional endings.
I gave the storyout ofDragons mainly because although the story was enjoyable I just found it rather unbelievable.
It is a good read that will take you less than an hour to devour, plus it is free on Kindle.
So put up your feet and have a nice break with this story and a mug of your favourite hot beverage.


good short story, Particularly like that there are different endings, makes it very unique, Clever Idea. worth the read. Simply amazing

The story has multiple alternative climaxes and every climax is good enough to leave an impact yet completely engaging and different from others.

Such an interesting read, Had fun reading it. Each of the four endings will hold you in admiration for the writer, Pick this up amp you can't stop reading it, Good for an hour of reading, Very interesting read. It is a story with four endings and I loved each one of them, Read something like this for the first time and loved it, I was very ambivantent about this book and struggled very much how to rate it since I don't see any workable way to do it adequately.


The writting style is excellent and I liked the general idea behind this shortstoryset with an interesting plot for a first half and the possibility to pick a second half between four different 'endings' and there it got rather difficult:

RARE
I liked this idea and this development even if I struggled with the ethical side

BURNT
Very realistic but not really my cup of tea

OVERDONE
I disliked this development very much on so any possible level I can think of

À POINT
My favorite if somehow predictable solution.
I liked the character and story development very much and enjoyed this realistic but still nice turn of events.
In One Man's Meat, Archer tells a tale and gives us four different climaxes with a twist ofcourse to choose from.


Loved the plot, loved the storytelling, A book that has four different endings! Unusual to say the least, . . but in this case, not in a good way, You, the reader, half way through the story is invited to either choose an ending yourself or to read all four in a specific order.
They vary in quality and to be honest, the author should have stuck with one and fully explored it.
Its a mishmash and therefore, slightly confused, as a piece of writing,

The four endings follow a certain pattern e, g. they go to a restaurant and order fettuccine and red wine and that's where the story lines diversify.
I thought at least two of the endings to be quite poor and unimaginative, the other two were alright but not great.
I shall leave you to decide which on reading it yourself, sitelink at A Bookworm's Musing

With the objective of these shorts being, I feel, to generate interest in Archers longer story collections, such stories work a treat to achieve that goal.
Loved the story, and also the four optional endings, It made it different from the other Jeffrey Archer esingles I have read so far,
I don't know why I keep expecting someone to get murdered or conned or framed for someone else's murder when I'm reading a Jeffery Archer book.
So to be clear, I haven't actually read any of his novels yet but I was under the vague impression that he belonged to the mystery/thriller genre.


But his short stories are so, . . simple and ordinary! And ordinary in a good sense of the term, The characters could be you and me and the story is extremely short and simple but enjoyable nonetheless.
Which is another very surprising thing that I find about Jeffery Archer, His plot is ordinary yet his power is in the narration, He can make a simple story about a dinner between two people sound as engaging as a murder plot!

Coming to this particular short story One Man's Meat.
I got it FREE on Kindle, Yup. Free. Am I the one to turn down free books NEVER, Also, short stories are a good substitutes when you're in that mental space where you don't wanna commit to a full fledged novel, but still want to read something other than nonfiction.
I keep collecting short stories on Kindle which is how I came across this one, This and a lot of other short stories of his were available on Kindle for free SO GO BUY ALL OF THEM!

What really intrigued me about this book other than the title obviously was the blurb which states that the story of the two protagonists follows four endings.
And I was absolutely reeled in and not disappointed by any of the endings!

EXCEPT for the fact that when I read the title I was dead sure that in at least one of the endings, either of them is a cannibal and ends up eating or trying to eat the other for dinner.
I mean, it's called "one man's meat" for crying out loud, But well, that didn't end up happening which is okay considering that it is not Jeffery Archer's style.
It would have been a great plot though! Taken from Jeffrey Archer's third collection of short stories, Twelve Red Herrings, comes One Man's Meat, an irresistible, witty and ingenious short read.


When Michael Whitaker spots the stunning Anna Townsend on the steps of the theatre, he decides he will do whatever it takes to get to know her.
Finding a way to get a ticket for the seat next to her, he then invites her to a drink at the interval.
By the end of the play, Michael asks her to accompany him to dinner, But what will her answer be

What follows are four different endings, . . choose just one, or if choosing to read all four they can be read in the following order: Rare, Burnt, Overdone, and À Point.
. . A novella with different endings giving us a glimpse of the endless possibilities the future holds for us.

Told by the master story teller himself, an entertaining read, The way the book is written is a little different but enjoyable, I loved the book. For the first time in my life I have read a book like this, Its very uniquely written. That style of givingdifferent endings to the story is awesome ! I loved the last ending, a point.
