Identity Theft Listener Reviews
-
" I always enjoy Sawyer's work, but I think I prefer his longer efforts. (So does he, according to several of the story intros.) "
— Joy, 10/14/2010 -
" I'd like to rate this higher but I was generally more interested in the settings than the stories. There are a couple of excellent stories in here but this is definitely a collection for fans of Sawyer and not fans of short fiction. "
— Ed, 10/8/2008
