lagobond's review

Not sure how to rate this book. A lot of what I read feels very outdated, sexist/misogynistic, boring, poorly written. I listlessly read bits here and there, and nothing really grabbed me, so it's possible that I missed out on something good, but I got to a point of no longer caring, so DNF it is.

However, I loved "Some Curious Effects of Time Travel," by L. Sprague de Camp (1942) which was a firecracker of a fun story; and "What Do You Mean -- Human?" by John W. Campbell (1959), a deliciously philosophical little treat.

I will abstain from giving a rating, and leave you with a hearty recommendation for these two short stories, which have stood the test of time.
