From AudioFile

This collection by Orson Scott Card begins with the tale of a recently deceased man trying to find his way to heaven, and ends with a science fiction story about the discovery of a quantum mechanism for memory, and the results of that discovery. The stories in between range from the horrific to the fantastic. All of the stories are affecting, some of them deeply, and are invariably enhanced by the performances of the well-matched readers. Of particular note is the performance of the author, who expertly reads the first story, "Homeless in Hell," and Theodore Bikel, who adds just the right touch to the macabre "A Thousand Deaths."

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Collection!, May 24, 2002

This review is from: Angles: And Other Stories (Audio Cassette)

This collection contains one Orson Scott Card story that you can't get anywhere else: Angles. The short story Angles is interesting enough by itself without the added bonuses of Orson himself reading Homeless in Hell, and many other readings by famous authors and members of Card's family. The story angles has really interesting and believable ideas about memory, what is involved and what some possibilities are. If you love OSC, this collection is a must get!
