5.0 out of 5 stars Great bite-size Science Fiction for fans and newcomers, Aug 5 2000
By A Customer
I have read this book 5 years ago. The stories are great and the writing techniques superb. Some stories are only a page long and yet they will stay in your head for a long long time. I loaned my first copy to a friend and he lost it! Bought the second copy from Amazon and promised myself not to lend it out again!

Read it and get hooked to Science Fiction if you are not already a fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Prose Poetry / Idea sketches / good anthology, Jul 19 2000
By A_2007_reader (Vladivostok, Russia) - See all my reviews
The only complaint about this book is that the stories are sometimes so short that the characters cannot be developed. But the themes are excellent. Like poetry, just the skeletal outline of the plot will please you. Three of my favorites (relying on memory, I read this book years ago) were A.C. Clarke's story of the haunted space suit, "Columbus is a dope" by ? (both ironically comical) and the provocative "hunted aliens". I think the excellent "Time Machine and Dinosaur Hunter" story is in here too, but I'm not sure.

Also read Jorge Luis Borges "Labyrinths" (one anthology) for a better treatment of the same theme (short stories with a sci-fi element).

4.0 out of 5 stars Some treats from the past.
If you like really short SF stories then you should read this book. It contains a lot of them and they are good. They are also short. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars very enjoyable
I normally stay away from edited (multi-authored) short story collections, but after reading several of the stories while standing in the bookstore (yes, some are just ONE page),... Read more
