Angelle Tusa’s Reviews > The Mammoth Book of Vintage Science Fiction: Short Novels of the 1950s > Status Update

The Oceans are Wide by Frank M Robinson - this one is a little more youthful than the other stories so far, with a young protagonist. Like any speculative fiction there's going to be some elements you don't agree with, but overall I found it a pleasant well paced read.

Flight to Forever by Poul Anderson - It's brevity makes it harder to care too deeply about the protagonist, and his attitudes about other races and the way he quickly forgets his lover don't help. It's an interesting musing on how society can be cyclical, but feels a little too disjointed, like he got a bit of inspiration on a story beat and therefore abandoned anything he wrote before it.
