"A worthwhile anthology of stories, some touching, some provocative, some much better than others. Two, "The Fate of Mice" and "Triceratops Summer", are worth the price of purchase alone. A mixed bag but a great time-passer. "

    " I especially liked "Triceratops Summer," which I took to be about the meaning of our actions in the face of the reality of death. Also "The Fate of Mice" which was a response to "Flowers for Algernon." "
