Reviews

[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 2 out of 5]

A collection of short story fantasies. Anumber have a religious background and all are somewhat wierd.

[David · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall an excellent collection. The last novella utilized storylines and characters from a series I haven’t read and so it was meaningless to me. Maybe once I’ve read that series I’ll come back and reevaluate this.

[Greta · Rating 3 out of 5]

Classic fantasies by Greg Bear are in the same category as Roddy Doyle's Opera, not my favorite form of entertainment.

[Michael O'Donnell · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not too bad. Did not get into 'The Way of all Ghosts'. Probably needed to read some of the earlier 'Way' storied.

[Kevin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some interesting ideas and images, but nothing that really stuck to my ribs, as it were.
