Title: Really an exceptional collection
Product review: I was given this (impossibly beautiful) Subterranean edition a few weeks ago, and I am mighty grateful for it. By and large, this is one of the strongest short story collections I've ever gotten my hands on - and I highly recommend it for a bit of late-night reading over a glass of wine.It was my personal (and by no means authoritative) opinion that the first and last few stories are the strongest in the compilation; I felt a little let down by a few of the middle ones. One or two felt like filler, and a couple others read like some brilliant beginnings to much longer pieces that I was disappointed not to have at my disposal. But this is absolutely the worst that can be said for it.Beware of purchasing it as a gift. You might be reluctant to pass it on to its intended recipient.
