Big Night Out isn't your typical short story collection. There really is a lot here that isn't a short story at all, although the biggest part are short stories. I grabbed it for those (well, I grabbed it mostly for Jasper Fforde's short story in it), so I mostly skimmed through the other things, even though some very big names contributed various things (INXS, Steve Coogan, and Nick Hornby recommending songs? Anthony Stewart Head sharing a cocktail recipe? Joan Collins' beauty tips? Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, and Boy George detailing hangover cures? It's all there). I did feel that the selection was made on the basis of the people in any case and not necessarily for the quality of their content. But hey, it is for charity after all. If you don't buy it for the stories, but for the good deed, you'll get what you expect.
