"Great collection of stories. All were entertaining and thought provoking. "
" Some stories I liked, others not too much. I really enjoyed 'The Nine Billion Names of God' for the story and the reader. Also a couple of others. It's a nice collection of stories. "
" Some gems, but most of the stories were rather uninteresting. "
" I really enjoyed a few of the stories in this collection, but most were kind of weak. "
" The greatest? Not really. "
