Steampunk! An Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This is a collection of short stories, very varied in style. Some really aren't "steampunk" in the usual sense and one or two don't seem to be at all. A few are really quite good and one or two didn't really hold my interest a lot but the rest weren't too bad at all. I think i liked Steam Girl as one of the best, and it's about two teenagers that are both loners and outcasts making friends. The Clockwork Fagin was also good. I couldn't get into the one based in ancient Rome. "

" There's something for everybody in this book of steampunk short stories- from automatons to time travel. I didn't so much enjoy some of the stories, such as "The Last Ride of the Glory Girls". This one in particular didn't catch my attention. My favorite out of all of them was "Everything Amiable and Obliging" by Holly Black. I love the characters and how well they were embodied. All in all, it was a great read and I would reccomend it to anybody with a love for historical fiction. "

" Such an eclectic mix of speculative fiction. I'm surprised to see all of the things that seem to have found there way under the umbrella of Steampunk, I suppose all it takes is a few gears and some steam? Great for anyone who wants to dip their feet into the genre like I did. "

" I have to agree with some of the other reviewers that said the first story is the weakest. I'm glad I didn't let it put me off. Steampunk is one of those genres I've been meaning to try for a long time. Some of the stories were a lot of fun - particularly Clockwork Fagin and Hand In Glove. All in all, I enjoyed it, but Steampunk isn't my new favourite genre. "

" Mixed bag...which is exactly what a steampunk anthology should be! Stretched my imagination. Intrigued. Delighted. "

" Great anthology! Most of the stories are good to excellent, just a few that are only OK. I will be thinking about many of them for a long time to come. Good for teens and adults. "

" This is a great introduction to this genre. Great way to get some readers to read fantasy. Introduce this collection of short stories to readers who have to read for an assignment. "

" This is an excellent introduction to the Steampunk style for newbs like me. Great range of stories that really give you an idea of the versatility of Steampunk. :0) "

" Didn't realize it was meant to be YA until reading some other reviews post-facto, although in retrospect the mean age of the protagonists gives it away. The story about the summer people was my favorite. "

" Great short story book for today's young adult and I certainly recommend to high school teachers. "

" I didn't realize there was such diversity in steam punk writing styles. some of these stories were better than others but overall a pretty interesting read. "

" Holly Black, Kelly Link, and Cory Doctrow offer up the most satisfying stories of the bunch, and the book is overall a well-rounded anthology, but Libba Bray's submission could've used polish, and Cassandra Claire's was just bad. No clue why they chose that for the opener. "

" some good, some just OK in this collection but an OK intro to Steampunk "

" Some stories are really compelling; others a bit less so. "

" This is a collection of marvelous creative, well written short steampunk stories,one is even graphic as in comics. It's a fun read. I highly recommend it. "

" Interesting selection of steampunk stories. Found most to be well written and entertaining. Glad they put in some comic book style selections. "

" I thought I would like this more but alas, I proved to myself once again that I still don't like short stories. That being said, some of the writing was really amazing, some nice mind bytes and pretty passages. Cory Doctorow was my favorite. "

" It's an anthology, some stories are better than others. The point (I guess) was to have none of the stories take place in Victorian England. That seemed to be a reach in some cases. "

" Mixed bag...which is exactly what a steampunk anthology should be! Stretched my imagination. Intrigued. Delighted. "

" Link and Grant push the edges of steampunk with this anthology of short stories and graphic format short stories. An amazing slew of authors, many of my favorites, contributed and I did find a couple of authors I would like to read more from. "

" I loved this book. I'm always a fan of anthologies, getting to see what different authors do with one idea. I liked how they wove the stories together in this one. My favorite was "Steampunk Girl". All of them stretched my idea of what steampunk means. "
