Title: Good stories, some great
Review: I thought most of these stories were good. Some of them are even great.These stories have mostly aged well, which is an impressive accomplishment. Others are better reads when you consider their date: "Devolution" was an OK story, but is an amazing story for 1936.This books is grossly mis-titled. It should be called "Orson Scott Cards's Favorite Short Stories of the 20th Century."Card is an intelligent person, so I'm not sure why he claims these are the best stories of the 20th century - a pretty impossible claim, unless maybe you polled a lot of sci fi fans who also had excellent recollection of all the short stories they had ever read.I for one have read stories I thought were much better than some of these in this book, including Card's own original short-story version of Ender's Game.
