5.0 out of 5 stars Great stories with quick, effective, complex points, May 5, 2002
By Charles Ashbacher "(cashbacher@yahoo.com)" (Marion, Iowa United States(cashbacher@yahoo.com)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
I have no doubt that the short story is the hardest to write. With limited space, the point, and there can really be only one, must be relatively obvious, yet complex enough to make an interesting story. Adding in a science fiction theme increases the level of difficulty, as generally, such stories require more explanation of the circumstances. Given that an environment different from the usual is necessary, some space must be used to explain the background of the story.
Despite all these hurdles, it is possible to write quality stories and this collection is an existence proof of how well it can be done. Independent of the length, these are some of the best science fiction stories of all time. They range from puns to the possibilities of interstellar war. I started the book and kept it close so that I could read it during every spare moment. It is one of the best collections of science fiction stories that I have ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Short Short Review, May 19, 2000
By Moshe E. (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent book. It runs the gamut of the science fiction genre; from jules verne to starwars, dragons to philosophy. It contains a cross section of literature and authors of both range and caliber rarely found. Many of its stories do not appear to be science fiction at first read; the only common thread among all the stories is the fact that, as Asimov puts in his introduction, "A very honed point." A must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Science Fiction Snacks for the Mind, October 13, 2004
By Eugenius Dobson (from a global perspective I'm right here.) - See all my reviews
Concise tales of science fiction that twist and turn their way into your very psyche. Great for midnight snacks when you need to dream while you're awake.

3.0 out of 5 stars Less Than It Could Have Been
I have always believed that there is a line between the Fantasy and Science Fiction genre-a thin, blurred line perhaps, but a line nonetheless. Read more
