4.0 out of 5 stars An oldie but a goodie!, March 8, 1998
This is an older collection, but the stories are fun and interesting. Great if you just don't have the time for a long read, but would like to relax a few minutes. I am surprised that no noe else has had anything to say about it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Just OK, June 13, 2005
By Jeremy Tassoff "kublakhan73" (West Caldwell, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I picked this up at a used bookstore recently. The concept looked interesting, and the list of contributors fairly impressive. However 90% of the stories left me with the impression of "Was there a point to that?". Stylistically the writing was up to par for each of the authors, but many of the stories themselves were rather disjointed or had a feeling of incompleteness.
