This review is from: The Nine Billion Names of God: The Best Short Stories (Hardcover)

Arthur C. Clarke really shines in this collection of short stories... It makes you want to read more; I would also suggest Tales from the White hart, Expedition to Earth, and many more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a short-story fan..., April 27, 2000

Llew Roberts "llewroberts" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Nine Billion Names of God: The Best Short Stories (Hardcover)

...but the short-story "The Nine Billion Names of God" is my favorite of all time.

11 pages, five minutes. Well worth the price of the entire book.
