5.0 out of 5 stars Fun with the 50s, 60s, etc.
This book is intended to be a "period piece." It's not today's sci fi (exactly) - look at the title, look at the cover. Just great stories and great fun!

3.0 out of 5 stars A little old-fashioned
This is a book for thirty year old (or more) people (like myself) : when you read these stories you think that you are watching again one of that old remakes, like "The Bubble". There is action, there is suspense, but there is a lack of novelty. It is like a cookie, it is nice, but you already know the taste.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun but scattershot, July 6, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: It Came From The Drive-In! (Paperback)
While the book lives up to the title, though the cover art makes little sense, the stories are hit and miss. It would've been nice to see a list of the stories included. As someone who appreciates the drive-in culture and still actually goes to the drive-in, there's very few mentions of actual drive-ins in these stories. Most though hit the b-movie pastiche spot on. One to stay away from, for various reasons, is the dreadful 'Jungle J.D.' by Steve Rasnic Tem.
