Review: Well written and worth buying for its style.

Anyone who loves rats (and I have two pet ones) shouldn't read this short story about a couple who rent a cabin with the idea of resurrecting their marriage after the husband's silly and rather pathetic indiscretion.His battle with the rat - and subsequent killing of the poor thing - is the means whereby he saves his marriage. I know I am prejudiced and for that reason wanted to see the rat win out and the rather twitty couple - who didn't deserve what they had until it was almost too late - fall in the marital soup.Despite my feelings, I have given this story four stars because it is so well written by a writer whose other work I shall be looking into - as long as he doesn't kill any more literary animals!
