"I love this anthology (<--- might not be right word, I'm stupid) I hate that I can't find all of them at bookstores or libraries, so my in universe knowledge is a bit patchy. I'm just going to bite the bullet and pay amazon it's blood money."

    " Excellent blending of fact and fiction. Will be looking for more in this series. "

    " A fascinating premise, executed very well. Martin curates a series of stories set in a specific universe. The stories build on each other beautifully, they're all brilliantly well-written. My personal favorite was the story of Croyd. "

    " It was the first time Martin disappointed me...this book made me sad. It's a random mash up of virus victims, but never comes together like I thought it would and was mostly just depressing if not downright boring. "

    " Yeah, edited by Martin, not written. I knew that before I bought it, but the book had some great authors so I thought it would be okay. I had to trudge through it, in spite of the creative ideas. Pre-Xmen. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " The stories I liked were shorter than the stories I could have had less of, but seems to be a common trait with this author. "

    " AS a collection I enjoyed this, obviously some stories resonate more strongly than others but well worth the time to read it. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " A single setting but with new protagonist in each chapter written by different brilliant writers. The stories would really be as real when mutants are involved. A must-read for sci-fi fans. "

    " Unfortunately I could not get through this book. I tried several times and was only able to get through the first chapter - well not even through the first chapter. Just not my kind of book unfortunately. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Somewhere between a 3 and a 4. The attraction of this series is the fact that it is an edited, shared world story. I enjoyed watching the interaction between the authors through their characters. "

    " Really enjoyed this. Like a literary comic book. The somewhat disjointed style was a little off-putting at first, but made sense once I got into it. Overall, a fun read. "

    " Brilliant take on superhero fiction. Generally I don't like "Forrest Gump" style stories where characters interact with real-world historical events but it really worked for this book. "
