In his collection of short stories “Crumpet Strumpet,” Frank Sobo has stripped himself of any pretence of political correctness and has given the reader stories that are truly human. He has a unique way of looking at the world, and his gift with words allows the reader to see the world in the same way. Mr. Sobo can take any situation and make it interesting. His stories lead you in one direction, only to change direction at the last minute. They take you to places that one’s mind does not tend to go, and you will enjoy every minute of the trip.

“Crumpet Strumpet” is not for the meek or the bashful. Mr. Sobo’s wording is edgy and even crass at times. He points out those things that most of humanity would choose to ignore. He easily makes fun of himself, and those around him. Mr. Sobo has succeeded in telling the types of stories we all wish we had the guts to tell. His stories provide not only humor, but insight into the human condition.
