Reading through this massive collection of short stories is almost a daunting task. With more than 500 pages and print that would never be called large, it took me a ridiculously long time to complete. Usually, I would go through and make a comment about each of the stories, but there were much too many for that. Also, frankly, I don't remember a darn thing about the first few of them. Actually, scanning through the table of contents, I don't remember anything about most of them. I can say that I was not bored reading this book, it was just interminably long. I would say you might need to be in the right mood to tackle this. I've sort of OD'd on science fiction short stories lately. Maybe it's time for something different. (My apologies for making this review more about me than about the book.) ( )
