5.0 out of 5 stars
A good mix of speculative fiction and scholarly articles.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Visions of Wonder (Paperback)
This is a memorable collection. From new stories like "Blood Music" and "Bears Discover Fire" to classics like "The Girl Who was Plugged In," the stories are sometimes disturbing but always engrossing. The scholarly articles are insightful from an academic standpoint, especially "What do you mean, 'human'?" This is definitely a "keeper." If scholarly articles bore you, don't read them. But you'll never know what you missed!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Superb!,
By Isobel Snow (Calgary, AB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Visions of Wonder (Paperback)
Visions of Wonder is one of my most prized books! I've had it for years now, after initially buying it for an SF class I took in university. I often re-read stories in the anthology, and look up the authors' other works and read them as well. If you are a lover of quality SF and Fantasy, this is a must-have volume of fascinating stories and ideas. I couldn't recommend it more highly!
