Collection of short stories so answers to the above vary. Enjoyable but at times difficult to digest; big smart words. My mind does wander while reading at the best of times, admittedly.

An interesting, though not spectacular collection of short stories. Enough ideas here to keep it interesting, although the style is a little dated. James Blish is an interesting writer, but I think his novels are superior to his shorter fiction.
