Surprisingly good, with some solid good short stories. I specially liked the creepy ones.

I had only read one of the short stories in this collection before (the one from Roald Dahl) and it was good to read something different from some of the featured authors. This edition has a short intro to each author and story (as well as some very school-like questions after each one) which were pretty interesting too and gave some useful context. The stories were pretty old though which is perhaps why there weren't any female views on the universe?

A surprisingly good collection of short sci fi stories - I'm not sure why we have it around the house, seeing as nobody here needed a book specifically aimed towards learning English, but I'm glad we do.
Each story has something to recommend it, an interesting twist, a chill down the spine, that sort of thing. They're fun, they're short, they're interesting. I'm not sure how good the activities for English-learning are, because I entirely skipped them, but it's a fun book to pick up otherwise.

Esta es una antologia de cuentos de ciencia ficcion escritos por autores clasicos de ese genero. Lo lei por curiosidad, quiero leer un poco fuera de mi zona de confort ya que en estos ultimos meses no he encontrado ninguna lectura que me enganche o impresione.
Los cuentos son bastante variados ya que los autores tienen estilos distintos, si algunos se me parecian a capitulos de The Twilight Zone debido a que como fueron escrito por esa epoca (50's, 60's) tenian ese aire.
Mis favoritos fueron:
-Human is de Philip K. Dick
-The Machine that Won the War de Isaac Asimov
-Stitch in Time de John Wyndham

This is the first time I read a collection of short stories. And I think my first experience with Sci-fi genre. I thoroughly enjoyed this, they're short and sweet and the book gives you a brief about the author and the story along with some activity questions at the end for discussion.
