4.0
Some great articles included in this year's anthology - I was engaged in most of the article whether it was out of happiness, anger, or sadness. I love these books because it's not only a range of great stories, but of incredibly written magazine articles.
My personal favourites -
The Black Sites - Jane Mayer
Specialist Town Takes His Case to Washington - Joshua Kors
"You Have Thousands of Angels Around You" - Paige Williams (this one made me emotional)
Out in the Cold - Mike Kessler
I Am Joe's Prostate - Thomas E. Kennedy (great writing, hilarious)
Casualties of War - Steve Oney
Though I continue to be disappointed by the lack of sports articles contained in these later issues (in earlier anthologies, I was surprised to find they were my favourites), there was still a range of topics here. Also missing was any works of fiction - though, it is easy to read many of these and find them unbelievable.
There's a reason these articles are finalists or award winners - and it's always a joy to read the best magazing writing every year.
