Critiques

A good collection, very much of its era


(4 étoiles)

Some interesting ideas and some interesting ways of putting those ideas across makes some of these stories quite entertaining. The persistent concern that Russia was going to start World War II waves its way through many of these tiles, ironically it’s being very prophetic but picking the wrong target. There were some good readings and this was an enjoyable book

Enjoyed

Entertaining and some imaginative stories. Bill did a great job reading (especially the voice of the robot) and has a pleasant voice.
