I received this book from LibraryThing in exchange for a review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews. This was my first time reading a collection of samplers, and it went a little better than I expected. The samples chosen were explained well enough that it didn't feel like I was jumping into the middle of a story unprepared, but they also didn't feel complete like an actual short story. A few of them didn't grab my attention enough to pursue, but others like War is Over, Gold Rush Girl, and Nevertell I was hooked enough that I'll be seeking out the full version.
