5.0 out of 5 stars Did I miss something?
I am beginning to wonder if the previous reviewer actually read the same book that I did?

I found these stories to be amazingly good probably on my top three list of short stories.

I liked them all but my favorite has got to be(get name of story) Where Davy Crocket hoping to refight the Battle of the Alamo learns that there is no profit in revenge.

Also there...

1.0 out of 5 stars A Weak Example of RiverWorld Tales!
Found myself scanning to find an interesting plot. I must have missed something. I never could get into these varied stories. I've read Farmer's first five books in the series and I felt disappointed with "Tales of Riverworld." I hope someone else enjoys this book more than I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Did I miss something?, March 20, 2003

I liked them all but my favorite has got to be(get name of story) Where Davy Crocket hoping to refight the Battle of the Alamo learns that there is no profit in revenge.

Also there is (get name of story) Where an actor pretending to be Robin of the Hood helps Julies Vern to recover his Utopia from Al Capone.

Now I realize that the two stories I've mentioned sound like a bad acid trip but you must keep in mind that all things are possible in Riverworld. Saint mingles with Sinner, Viking could fight Monguls, Elvis could run for president if he wanted to and these are just a few of the possibilities.
