4.0 out of 5 stars
A bunch of mixed stories,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ackermanthology: 65 Astonishing, Rediscovered Sci-Fi Shorts (Paperback)
Ackerman has select 65 stories in a single volume : it looks like too much. And, in fact, it is !!!There are some stories of a single page that could be forgotten forever, due to its very strange humour. But others look like stars and you think : were have him discovered this ? I can not say that this is a perfect anthology because some stories are written to a determined context that is very hard to believe or imagine. Anyway, if you have spare time everyday, do not miss this one, there are good stories to read in 10 minutes or less. Paulo Sunao

Ackerman Delight,

This review is from: Ackermanthology: 65 Astonishing, Rediscovered Sci-Fi Shorts (Paperback)
I have seen disparaging reviews of this anthology, one saying the stories were sometimes a single page. My purchase went to an avid scifi reader who was delighted with the collection. Every one a gem she said. I am so pleased, that someone with such a knowlege of scifi history would say this, I have bought a copy for myself. Anyway, anthologies are like busses. If one tale displeases, there will be another one along in a minute, or a flick of the page.
