[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

6101 pages of great novels, most of which I read leading up to this. I read this for the shorter Montague Egg stories are easily digested and enjoyable. The random shorts at the end are interesting and quite original concepts. Worth reading everything one can of an author this consistently good.
