5.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative, fresh, rich, one of the best new authors, December 12, 1998
By 
This review is from: Artificial Things (Mass Market Paperback)
I know of very few authors whose prose is so imaginative. Every single story was a surpise full of original ideas, richly developed characters, moving situations... From alien experiments in a suburban street to a woman trying to come to terms with her memory of a man who killed and died in Vietnam, Fowlers' stories kept me reading and thinking. Highly recommended, regardless of your favourite genre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Contains the best story of ever. Go read this. Now., September 9, 2010

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Artificial Things (Mass Market Paperback)
Although most of these stories did not have the satisfying 'punchy' ending I like from short stories, they were extremely well conceived. I think a lot of the problem I had with the endings comes from the fact that I'd really like to read more about the people and situations introduced in each of these stories.
I like that almost all of her protagonists are women, which you don't find often in science fiction. There is much unexplored territory in the genre that comes from placing a woman at the head of a story that might even be similar to something one has read before involving a male lead character.
I do have to say that "The View from Venus" is the best short story I have ever read, EVER. I recommend every fan of sci-fi, short stories, or romance get a copy of this book, if only for that story.
