50 Short Cuts

I enjoyed 50 Short Cuts, a collection from Brisbane barber Ross Coco.  Ross is a well-known barber trading as Sweeney Todd, who has many interesting clients and about 50 of them agreed to write a short story for this book about "success" and what that means to them as individuals.  Of course, with more than 50 people there is a diverse range of people, including businessmen, judges, lawyers, journalists and their stories are most enjoyable to read.  Ross is renowned for his fundraising efforts for very worthy causes and this book is to raise funds for prostate cancer research undertaken by the Cancer Council of Queensland.  I hope Ross continues his work as a barber and fundraiser for many years to come. 4/5
