Reviews

[Harron68]

A good assortment of stories, like a box of chocolates not all delightful, but every one palatable. Some were clever, some funny, no horrific violence. A great book to have for times when a short story satisfies. It was the second of at least 3 collections. Three stars seems an honest rating. Above avg for the most part.

Excellent selection of well-written stories.
