Reseñas

Excellent collection of short stories


(5 stars)

Really enjoyed the selection. Stories I've not heard before. Wells' talent was amazing. His use of language to create an image or atmosphere is unsurpassed. All the readers did a great job. For those who are obsessed with political correctness and looking to be offended, one story uses common words of the time

good collection


(3 stars)

Good collection of short stories. The magic shop and the new accelerator were my favorites. Most were just okay but not really all that exciting. A few didn't make any sense and were boring and repetitive.
